WINDOW BOX HISTORY
Main Street’s beautiful window box flower displays have delighted residents and visitors alike since 2001.More than seventy of the window boxes that grace Gloucester’s Main Street were installed in a collaborative downtown enhancement program between 2001 and 2005. The program was initiated by William Taylor and Peter Perthou (Grant Circle Flower Fund) and was enhanced and extended by the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce and the City of Gloucester’s Community Development Department. Through this cooperative effort, window boxes were installed at Main Street businesses free of charge. Main Street merchants plant and maintain their own window boxes, expressing their own unique style – and brightening all of Main Street in the process.
