FEBRUARY 28, 2014 MILFORD TOWN CRIER 3 How Tall is “Tall”? Th e former Home National Bank Building, 100 Medway By Kevin Rudden Road (Rt. 109) is another tall building in Milford. Staff Reporter/Columnist During this month’s Special Town Meeting discussion about building a new Woodland Elementary School, much was made of the 47-foot height of the proposed three-story structure. Th at leads to the inevitable question: How tall is tall? Building Commissioner John Erickson explained that a typical building “story” is 10 feet tall. Th at would make the average two and one-half story home about 25 feet high. By comparison, the Town Hall cupola is twice as high, with an estimated elevation of 50 feet, according to the Milford Historical Commission’s “History of Milford, Massachusetts 1780-1980.” Th e new Zoning By-law amendment passed at this month’s Special Town Meeting will limit public schools to Th e back of Milford Regional Medical Center, which according to the a maximum of three stories with a total maximum height Milford Town Milford Fire Chief, is the tallest building in Milford due to ground of 49 feet.

From his perspective, the tallest building in town is the Milford Regional Medical Center. Th e rear of the building is higher than the Prospect Street (Route 140) side due to ground elevations, he said. Other tall buildings are the larger hotels and the former Home fi re lanes around these buildings,” he explained.
