The Oct. 11, 1861 Woburn Budget reported that a recruiting office for the 28th Irish Regiment had been opened in Mrs. Leathe's building. Mrs. Leathe owned several buildings on the corner of what is now Main St. and Montvale Ave, (Then Rail Road St). She lived in the one right on the corner, with businesses also in it, downstairs. Since it is refereed to as Mrs. Lathes building I would give that one the best odds. (The one with the red awning) The current building went up in 1979. It is right across the street from the Civil War monument.
