Erastus Payson Carpenter, born on November 23, 1822, and was called E.P. by most who knew him. At the age of 21, he went into business with his cousin Oliver Carpenter who was involved in the manufacture of straw goods. Shortly thereafter E.P. started working for Oliver's brother Warren Carpenter selling straw goods and six years later became his partner. While working for Warren, E.P. conceived the idea of uniting the many small straw manufacturing plants in Foxboro under one roof. Before reaching the age of 30, E.P. returned to Foxboro and bought a tract of land on Wall Street. He first built the Great Bonnet Shop (later known as the Verandah House) and then Hamlet House, but it soon became evident that he could still not meet the growing demands of the business in his existing facilities. In 1852 he, along with cousin Oliver, built the Union Straw Works (shown below) which became the worlds largest straw manufacturing facility and employed thousands of people. In 1900, E.P. witnessed two personal losses suffered by every citizen of the town. On May 28, 1900 the Union Straw works building caught fire and was completely destroyed in under two hours.7
