The Committee appointed June 21, 1899, to arrange for the celebration of the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the Concord Fight, report in part as follows: It seemed wise to the committee that some permanent memorial should be provided in connection with this celebration, just as in 1835 the monument at the Old North Bridge, and in 1875 the Minute Man were made permanent memorials. &#13;
&#13;
The Middlesex Hotel property, so long an unsightly object on our public square, has been purchased for the sum of seven thousand five hundred dollars, and is now offered to the Town at that price, to be used hereafter by the Town for the site of a memorial hall, or a municipal office building, or for other similar municipal purposes, and in the meantime to be used as a public park.</text>
