Progress and a Call for An Annual Meeting

Ladies and Gentlemen of Southborough,

How to begin. Flooding, termites, decay, mold, dust, and totally rotted sills.

And YET!!

We are beyond all of these! Finally progress on stabilizing the structure!

We are heading home, and to that end, we would like to plan for an Annual Meeting of the Southborough Historical Society, potentially in June, and potentially at our new site!

We will want to make this invitation open to ALL Southborough residents, to show the town what we are up to, and encourage new members in our organization!

Stay tuned here over the next couple of weeks for an update

And hang on to your hard hat!

This is our 300K commitment to ADA: the elevator pit that will for the first time in the building’s history link all floors
Who needs HVAC?  Fresh air!

 

Hello Fayville Athletic Club,. our new neighbors!

Looking across two floors. This is a one-time view, as there will be a wall here for the new stair.
The new structural struts to keep the building from collapsing. A long road home.

  1. Incredible achievement.

    I honestly don’t think anyone else could have conceived, financed and then managed this project to completion.

    Congratulations.

    Michael … Something significant in the building should be named after you, permanently.

    1. Yes and yes!! Hooray for SHS, carrying the rich history of Southborough into the future on such sturdy shoulders!

  2. There seem to be many interesting spaces in this building. It looks to be beautiful when it is finished. You’ve done an excellent job with this project, Michael.
