Looking back: Stoughton, Massachusetts, A Century Ago This Week

Stoughton Building Inspector David Tonis spent much of Tuesday night before the Board of Selectmen being grilled in a verbal beating regarding the fire-ravaged Les Gill property at 1688 Central Street. Selectman Chairman John Kowalczyk said, “This was an unauthorized, un-permited, rooming house. You got specific direction from a judge. Nothing was done since 2001. That is my concern. It’s your job. You’re the building enforcement officer.”
