In 1875 - The main office building of Arlington Coal Company was built and has played many roles in the town’s history. At one time, it was www.canadagooseschweiz.biz an important civic center for the town. The second floor auditorium, Union Hall, was one of several such meeting facilities around town, and served many purposes. It was the site of religious services while various Protestant denominations waited for their churches to be built; dancing classes and dramatic productions were held there; the Arlington Zouaves, a quasi-military marching society, met in the hall; and in 1885 it was even used for roller skating. The first floor, then and now, was used for commercial purposes, and the building once housed the Arlington Heights branch of the public library.
In 1914 - The Arlington Coal Company was founded at 41 Park Avenue in Arlington Massachusetts. The Arlington Coal Company was a dealer of coal, lumber, hay, straw, lime, and cement.
