Bunce Company Buys Main Street Frontage in Middletown
The Hale property at 314 and 316 Main Street transfers to James H. and Richard H. Bunce, expanding Bunce ownership to about a 100 foot Main Street frontage. The site includes the building housing Hale and Kelsey and adjacent land, with plans for a future attractive front but no immediate changes or tenant disruptions. The old Middlesex County National Bank space remains leased to Neville’s Candy Shop and not included in changes, with Bunce aiming for a new building after the war ends.
