James Pierotti reported that originally a Dutchland Farms was at the site of what became the Hingham Red Coach Grill. He added that during its hey-day, the Hingham Restaurant was the place to be seen and featured a lively cocktail lounge. Mr. Pierotti has written a book about Hingham that includes a chapter with information about the Red Coach Grill. The book has been published by Arcadia Publishing and is available for $19.95 on their website.

Note that the older postcard view seen above depicts a very different looking building than the later view, and that the "original" restaurant structure was likely demolished in order to make way for the newer looking building.
