The history behind house on Harrison Street

Wayland Town Crier 2/4/10: The history behind house on Harrison Street. The house at 20 Harrison St. in Wayland has a long and lively history. Originally built around 1870 and first owned by a member of the prominent Goodnow family, it is believed to be the oldest extant dwelling on the street and one of the oldest in Cochituate. Starting in the early 1970s and until very recently, it was occupied by a colorful town character, Charlie Campbell, and known among locals as the "Who Hotel." No one seems to know exactly why it was given this moniker, but scuttlebutt has it that the Who Hotel was known among local teens as well as older partygoers as the go-to place for a little late-night action.
