A picture of the Old Town-House hangs in the Portrait- Gallery. A curious Dutch spectacle-case dating from 1727, and some specimens of hand-made pins complete the display on the upper shelf. Shelf 2 contains a large pitch-pipe made of wood; a mold for making pewter spoons ; a mold for making pewter buttons, which was used for generations in the Slade family of Cov- entry; a toddy-glass marked \- and a hand-forged spike from the Joseph Brown House (alias Deacon Harding House) on South Main Stree...t, which was torn down in October, 1904. On the third shelf are some nails from a slave-ship wrecked near Fort Adams, Newport. Many Rhode-Islanders for- merly engaged in this lucrative trade. Some nails from the Dexter House, which was built in 1723, are also shown. It was situated on Governor Street, which was so called from the fact that Gov. James Fenner, the first president of this Society, lived there. The small wooden chest was pre- sented to the town of Hopkinton for the preservation of its early records by Governor Stephen Hopkins, for whom the town was named, March 19, 1757.
