Brookside

Exterior masonry restoration of this 1879 H.H. Richardson-designed library, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, involved complete dismantling and reconstruction of the tower.

This beloved building was originally designed by Boston architect Edmund March Wheelwright in 1909. A century after its completion, the Castle retained much of its original character, but required exterior refurbishment, a new fire egress, and interior improvements.

A small Greek Revival house was given a new foundation and a wing connecting to a new barn and embracing a protected garden. A long axial view from the front door through the new wing makes a small house seem bigger than it is.
