Milton Past and Present: Hendries Ice Cream

In the past 350 years, the Town of Milton has changed quite a bit. Today, we look at the Hendries building at 131 Eliot Street.

For younger Milton residents, the corner of Eliot Street and Central Avenue is the home to a vacant building, but for longtime Miltonians, the boarded up building was once Hendries Ice Cream.

A plan from developer Steve Connelly to demolish the Hendries building and build a multi-use residential and commercial property at 131 Eliot Street is currently before the Milton Planning Board.

Through historical photos from the Milton Historical Society we can see what the property looked like when Hendries was open.
