Photographs
Two black-and-white photos show the interior of Polly’s Restaurant as it looked during the 1950s. Tables, booths, the “Toasted Sandwiches” menu, and the bar are visible. Each photo shows a somewhat different interior. The photo showing the menu has exposed beams and painted murals of landscapes and planes. The other reveals a tiled ceiling and lacks the murals.
Costa Polly (1908-1998) opened the restaurant in 1941 at Minot’s Corner, which is also known as Cornerstone Square today. It was the one with an airplane on the roof. Polly’s was closed by 1970, with a Mobil gas station now at the site.
The photos were donated by Westford resident Sandra Bergeron in 2024.
