Sarah R. S. Roby Memorial
The Dunstable Town Hall, built in 1909 and renovated in 2003
DUNSTABLE — Dunstable was so sparsely populated during the early 20th century that the erection of a specific town hall with just $10,000 from the estate of Sarah R. S. Roby could combine many uses — meeting rooms, offices and the town library.
Roby, who died in 1906 at age 94, indicated in her will that she wanted town residents “to have the privileges, use and enjoyment of a public library, a pleasant assembly room with dining hall and accessories well equipped.”
The building was renovated and reopened in 2003 at a cost of about $2 million with the hope that it would serve the town for at least a second century...
