The North Worcester Aid Society is a charitable society based in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1874 to provide clothing for children orphaned during the American Civil War. It met in a school on Holden Street until 1887, when land nearby was donated to the group, and its building at 58 Holden Street was built.[2]
The society's building, a relatively simple 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure with minimal Queen Anne/Stick style decoration,[2] was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
