Original Home of the Paper Store Changes Hands in Maynard

O’Brien Commercial Properties closed the sale of 36 Nason St. in Maynard, MA for $1.4 million. The building was the original home of the Paper Store, which now runs to more than 100 stores and over 3,000 employees nationwide.

The building was purchased by Fly By Night Furniture, which operates a large store in Northampton, MA and plans to expand its footprint to include Maynard. Keith Gurtler of O’Brien Commercial represented the Paper Store.

The 11,604-square-foot jewel box of a building was constructed in 1920. It consists of two floors with direct retail frontage along Nason Street.
