The photo on the left, taken in the early 1950s, shows Cardamone’s Restaurant at 920 Main St. The small, one-story section of the building was a variety store listed as 918a Main St. When the variety store went out of business, Laureat Gagne opened the Main Street Barber Shop. In 1962, Peter Profenno purchased the building with restaurant from Michael and Maryanne Cardamone and opened Profenno’s Restaurant. When the barber shop closed, Profenno took the space to enlarge his restaurant. But in 2004, fire swept through this building and it was later demolished. Profenno purchased the former Hebert’s Market building at 934 Main St., and reopened Profenno’s Restaurant. The photo on the right shows the building that Profenno recently erected on the site of his old restaurant. The new building has six apartments on the second floor. Edd Cabral Accountant occupies the first floor left and the Final Cut Hair & Tanning Salon occupies the first floor right.
