Billerica Greenhouse

Greenhouse in Billerica, printed in 1952 as Billerica Greenhouses. It advertised in the Howe High School yearbooks from 1952 to 1958.

It was the florist business of Oscar A. Ericson and Charles W. Gridelli, listed as the Billerica Green Houses from 1949 and at 508 Boston Road in 1957. They bought the old Backer's Greenhouses on the east side of Boston Road from Harlie G. and Florence B. Bohannon in May 1948, and after Ericson's death in 1961 Gridelli kept the business until 1967, when he sold it "and good will" to new owners. The greenhouses were taken down about 1970, and a bank has stood on the site since about 1975.
