The Bayley House

Project Summary

The small town of Newton, Massachusetts, most known for its eponymously named Fig Newton cookie, is home to some astonishing architectural wonders – a testament to the days of cheap labor, cheaper lumber, and architects and homeowners with aspirations of grandeur and permanence. This project, the Bayley House, has a storied history spanning eight owners and multiple uses – private residence, junior college and religious order priory. Fortunately the integrity of the original structure is largely intact.
