Town board approves materials for makeover
Chairman George Jessop, an architect, supported changing out the building’s windows when he learned they were not original to the 1840s structure.

Jacques Renard was born as Jacob Stavinski in Kiev, Russia, he raised in Massachusetts and trained as a classical violinist. Instead of joining the symphony, however, Renard started his own dance band which became very successful in the Boston area during the late 1920s. During the 1930s, he focused much of his attention on network radio appearances. He led the house band for “The Burns and Allen Show” and for the “Eddie Cantor Show.” There were two famous Cocoanut Grove ballrooms. One was located in the old Ambassador boston cab in Los Angeles – the same boston cab where Robert Kennedy was later assassinated. Gus Arnheim’s Orchestra had a very successful association with the Ambassador and many of his recordings are credited as “Gus Arnheim and His Cocoanut Grove Orchestra.” The other Cocoanut Grove was a popular nightclub located in Boston where, on November 28, 1942, 492 people were killed in a fire. The “Cocoanut Grove” referred to on Renard’s late ’20s Victor recordings is the same nightclub where the tragic fire occurred some 14 years later.
