Upton Grange
Gorman Richardson Lewis Architects worked closely with the Massachusetts and Upton Historical Commissions and the Upton Grange team to restore the building envelope of the historic Grange Hall located at 26 School Street in Upton. The Greek-Revival style building which was built in 1850 as a schoolhouse and subsequently became the meeting place for the Upton Grange required much-needed renovations. GRLA was responsible for providing the design to reroof the entire building, replace and repair all clapboard siding, repaint the building based on historic analysis of the original paint colors from the 1850’s and replace the handicap ramp and install a new code compliant railing system. Primary funding was from the Massachusetts Historic Commission.
