Fridays feature local businesses and today’s entry is Hand in Hand massage. Blane and Monique have been in practice as massage therapists for over 20 years. Three years ago, they moved to this historic location on beautiful State Street. I was fortunate to have a postcard-perfect sunrise when I took this image. Both therapists are incredibly good at what they do which I was reminded of just this past weekend when I received a chair massage at the Rotary Great Race. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with them soon.
The house’s fascinating history is written on the door. It reads:
Captain Alexander Watts of Scotland (shipmaster & merchant) built the house and shop on then King Street in 1747
John Adams (fisherman & mariner) resided there from 1776-1803
A shop was maintained by his two daughters until 1842
State Street Oyster House operated from 1845-1891
The Frost Home Bakery opened in 1910
The King’s Rook Coffee House was established in 1959
A renovation was performed in 1988 and several businesses have been housed there over the years.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
