The Olmsted Brothers designed the surrounding landscape in 1919. McGinley Kalsow & Associates first prepared a Historic Structures Report and application to the federal government to transfer the residence and surrounding landscape to the Town of Watertown for no cost. MKA then assisted the Town in applying and receiving a Massachusetts Historical Commission's Project Preservation Fund Grant. Space planning and contract documents were developed for the restoration of the building and its conversion into a municipal function and meeting facility with a complete commercial kitchen that is rented for private parties. The project was publicly bid and awarded on schedule for less than the projected budget. The restoration provided new handicap access to the building and carefully incorporated new mechanical, electrical and egress systems without compromising important historic interiors.</p> <br /> </td> <td rowspan="2">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" class="Headline_bold"><table width="111" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><a href="parkman.html"><img src="images/previous_bttn.gif" alt="previous" name="previous" width="66" height="31" border="0" id="previous" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('previous','','images/previous_bttn_ovr.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" /></a></td> <td><a href="ayer.html"><img src="images/next_bttn.gif" alt="next" name="next" width="45" height="31" border="0" id="next" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('next','','images/next_bttn_ovr.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" /></a></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> <table width="762" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4" bordercolor="E0E0E0" background="../images/footer_bckgrd.gif" bgcolor="E0E0E0"> <tr> <td height="23"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="../images/15x15spacer.gif" width="18" height="15" /></td> <td align="left"><img src="../images/phone_address.gif" width="385" height="19" /></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td width="67" align="right"><a href="../contact.html"><img src="../images/contactUs_bttn.gif" alt="Contact Us" name="contactUs" width="67" height="19" border="0" id="contactUs" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('contactUs','','../images/contactUs_bttn_ovr.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" /></a></td> <td width="73" align="left"><a href="#"><img src="../images/site_credits_bttn.gif" alt="Site Credits" name="credits" width="73" height="19" border="0" id="credits" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.torque9.com','Torque9','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes')" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('credits','','../images/site_credits_bttn_ovr.gif',1)" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" /></a></td> <td width="8"><img src="../images/15x15spacer.gif" width="8" height="15" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> <table width="762" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><div align="right" class="copyright">Copyright &copy; 2006 McGinley Kalsow &amp; Associates Inc.
