Bramble Hill
757 Salisbury Street
Bramble Hill, located at 757 Salisbury Street, is a magnificent Georgian Colonial style home built in 1901. Originally sited on 135 acres, it is unique for its secluded setting in the city of Worcester. Much of the land was developed into Salisbury Hill with 17 acres remaining undeveloped around the home to preserve its private setting. This grand mansion has monumental columns at the front door to greet you and give you a hint of its gracious interior.
For many decades, Bramble Hill was the home of Milton and Alice Higgins. They were prominent figures in the educational and cultural life of Worcester. Milton Higgins was Chairman of the Board and President of Norton Company, and both Alice and Milton were associated with Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Clark University.
Bramble Hill is owned by Salisbury Hill and is for sale. It has been vacant since 2007, and both the structure and the surrounding land are showing serious signs of neglect. Due to its architectural and historical significance to the city, it has been placed on the Endangered Structures List.
