Scope and content

ca. 1932. Goodwill Industries building, circa 1932, with the storefront for their resale store left of the doorway. The Goodwill building was constructed in 1930. Frederic and Stanley T. Shaw were the architects and W.T. Post was the contractor. It was built at a cost of $75,000. This structure was vacated by Goodwill in the mid-1960's when the organization moved to Center Street and this building became a rental office building. Goodwill Industries was founded in 1902 in Boston by Dr. Edgar J. Helms, a Methodist minister, who devised it as a way for the poor and immigrants to support their families. His philosophy of "Give a hand up, not a hand out" became the focal point of the Industries' work.
