This residence was once part of the auditorium and gymnasium of one of Boston’s very first parochial schools. A development team whose two senior partners actually attended school there saved the building and created 60 residences. When our clients purchased the space the original owner had combined two units but had never renovated it. So we started with a space that was a warren of sheetrock and oddly designed rooms that contained 2 kitchens, 2 staircases, 5 bathrooms, 2 electrical systems, and 2 HVAC systems. We stripped everything out except the 3 eighteen foot double windows to create a large two-story empty space.

Autumn is a magnificent season to explore the great outdoors, from enjoying a stroll through a state or national park to venturing out on nature trails with scenic views. A favorite autumn pastime for many is sitting on a park bench to enjoy the crisp fall air and admire the resplendent foliage.

Kenneth Lynch & Sons is proud to have our park benches, picnic tables, and decorative elements featured in many parks across the country, and to celebrate this beautiful season we have collected our favorite scenes of parks in autumn splendor.
