NORTHBOROUGH – Many people may not realize that in addition to Daniel Wesson’s “White Cliffs” mansion, he also built housing for his employees, a large green house and barns. These were all located across Main Street from the mansion. The greenhouse was located at the corner of Main and Maple Streets where the Central One Federal Credit Union is located today.

Three of his employees’ buildings still remain. They are located at 154 Main St., 13 Maple St., and 25-27 Maple St. All three buildings contain many of the exterior architect features also observed on White Cliffs such as shingle designs and elaborate stonework on the chimneys.
