The Gale Store project, a joint project of Trinity Church, Habitat for Humanity, and Northboro Affordable Housing Corporation, has been awarded a Robert H. Kuehn Award in the Preservation Massachusetts’ 2020 Preservation Awards Program. The award is given “for projects that meld partnerships with creative and cutting-edge ideas for the rehabilitation and active reuse of historic buildings”. This project involved converting property owned by Trinity (formerly the Gale General Store, built in the early 1800’s) to affordable housing. The application highlighted the partnership between Trinity Church, the Northboro Affordable Housing Corporation, Habitat for Humanity, the Town of Northboro, Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School, and Algonquin Regional High School.
Congratulations to everyone who worked on this project, and to all the organizations in town that came together to make this happen!
