George Talbot House
The impressive George Talbot House stands next to the Old Town Library on Mansfield Avenue. Across the street at 7 Mansfield Avenue is the former J.C. Pratt house. Mr. Talbot owned the Talbot Wool Combing Company on Elm Street while Mr. Pratt became Norton's postmaster in 1906 and ran Pratt's Country Store in the center. Both of these houses were designed circa 1908 by May Davis Mason. One of the firms that employed Mr. Mason during his career was the Witherell Construction Company in Taunton.
