I am told that the new tenant of the Friendly’s site, the local Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee owner, and the landlord of the site appeared before the Town of Medfield’s Historic District Commission last night with their architectural consultant, David Sharff, about the new Dunkin’ Donuts facility planned to move into the old Friendly’s site.
After our Board of Selectmen meeting last night, when I went to the town accountant’s office to sign the warrants (the selectmen must sign off approving all town checks each week), I bumped into Medfield Press editor Brett Rhyne on the first floor, who told me that at the just concluded Historic District Commission hearing that the Dunkin’ Donuts representative had appeared with plans showing the building somewhat remodeled, but mainly kept the same. The color elevations he had received and showed to me, seemed to keep the same basic structure, just spiffed up the facade.
- The front plate glass windows were replaced with small pane windows.
- Dunkin’ Donuts said it will keep the walk up window.
- Perhaps a new cupola.
Brett Rhnye told me that Dunkin’ Donuts owns Baskin Robbins, so perhaps a Baskin Robbins well be part of the mix.

Brett,
Better that people get it straight from the one who heard it directly, than my second hand report. In any event, thanks for letting me know last night what had happened.
Pete
