Thank you to Paula Eldridge who established Holly Hill Framing, and to her daughter Kristen for carrying on the framing business when he mother retired. The business started in the Eldridges' home on Holly Lane, hence the name, then grew into the retail space at 175 Littleton Road. Central to the shop were the magnificent pen and ink drawings of Westford buildings that Paula created and that now hang, beautifully framed by Holly Hill, in so many Westford homes.
The Roudenbush Westford Directory 1993-94 has the business at Holly Lane, but by the 1995/96 Westford Directory, Paula had moved to Route 110.

Did Kristen shut down completely, or did she move to a different location?

She is moving to Littleton. I actually was looking to have some pictures framed, so I googled, "Picture Framing" per our address and I got her website, but when I clicked on it, I got some url error. So I called and she told me she wasn't taking any new work and that she was moving to Littleton.

As to what should go in there I know the perfect store: A gun shop!

Very sorry to see such a solid, reliable establishment as Holly Hill close its doors and leave Westford. As so many of our friends, we are proud owners of several of Paula's and Kristen's work and will treasure them. Best of luck to you as you move forward. Thank you.

Medical Marijuana dispensary.

My Top 5 suggestions for the space:

1 - Medical marijuana dispensary (there are a lot of Westford residents with glaucoma)
2 - A good independent book store
3 - A good bakery (there used to be a bakery in that area. Sorely missed!)
4 - A Dairy Queen (the closest one is in Nashua)
5 - An auto parts store (there are none in Westford)

Gun shop. All those new LTC folks are going to need a place to shop. Why let the $ be spent out of town.

With all the medical marijuana dispenary suggestions, I'm surprised nobody has said it should try to get a drive thru! (and for those of you just joining us, there's a warrant article regarding both dispensaries and drive thrus at Town Meeting...)

Bakery\! Bakery! Bakery! I sincerley hope that the posts about a Gun Store are jokes.

Has Holly Hill Framing moved the business to LIttleton, or have they closed? They were fabulous!!

Expand BixBite, that comfort food restaurant! It's great!

It could be an AFT themed store, that surely will bring in a lot of traffic. Think of the spinoff sales. food beverage, gas sales... a boone to the economy.

Sorry to see frame shop go; I got two watercolors matted and glassed there. Well let's see, bookstore good idea, gun shop a serious notion with an educational element; another bakery or cutesy trinket shop? DVD rental/sales? Back to art like as in art supplies! Auto parts good too. Good luck out there.

A bakery would be perfect

I'd love to see an ethnic bakery, considering MB and soon whole foods will be coming to town. They both offer baked goods but nothing really to interesting.

Ethnic soul food joint, fried chicken, ribs, collard greens, chitterlings, watermelon, fried plantains , bring some people of color from Lowell Lawrence way out to the suburbs to dine with the nice folk here

Either a gambling casino or a marijuana dispensary. This is what your one party government is bringing you in Massachusetts. Happy times!

Mexican Restaurant or book store. But a gun shop would certainly do great business. Jefferies Ammo Emporium.
