Abner Wheeler House, 680 Worcester Road, Route 9 Corner Main Street, Framingham Centre, Mass., Every attempt has been made to preserve the old atmosphere. The old fireplaces are here in much the same condition as they were when built in 1730, including the kitchen in the old part of the house, with the crane, kettle, and hook. The hand-hewn beams in the ceiling are the original ones, as is the brick hearth and floor of wide white pine plank.
