In 1999 our firm was retained and completed a comprehensive preservation plan that included an existing conditions assessment with recommendations for preservation and universal access, as well as estimated construction costs. We provided full architectural services for the preservation and restoration of the exterior in 2000. This work was made possible through a matching grant from the Massachusetts Historical Commission.
