Visions For Vacancies: Pacheco Hardware

Drive around Stoughton and you'll notice a number of empty storefronts and buildings.

We're continuing a new series titled "." We'll showcase an empty storefront and ask you what should take up the space.

Last week we asked what you would like to see done with the on Washington St.

This week, we turn our attention to the former Pacheco Hardware storefront, located at the corner of Freeman St. and Washington St. in downtown Stoughton.

Pacheco Hardware, a family-owned business, was open for 26 years, before closing in July of 2010. The building itself is a historic landmark in Stoughton, dating back to the late 1800s.

What would you like to see take its place? Keep it as retail space? Turn it into a restaurant, diner or coffee shop? Use it as office space? Be creative!
