Memorial
This week I got to visit the site for the house that I've been talking about here for the last few weeks. It's out in the Berkshires in a charming little town I have never been to before but heard good things about. The project site is actually very close to the town green but you'd never know it while you're there; it's 30 acres surrounded by trees on all sides and slopes down to the south in a way that opens amazing views to the nearby hills and mountains. There are 3 buildings on the site now; a caretakers house that is not in great shape, the main house, which is actively in disrepair, and the chapel seen above. We know the history of the lot goes back into the 1800s, but most of what we know is about the owners who have just sold to our client. They owned it for 30-40 years, had several kids, one of whom, a son, died in a car accident while still young. It was in his memory that they had the chapel built. On the exterior it appears much like any barn ...
