Old Berkshire Athenaeum Project in the News

April 2, 2014

The historic Old Berkshire Athenaeum building, currently being restored by Allegrone, seeks to hold onto its past while embracing its future.

The Historical Commission is hoping a photo taken in 1886 of the historic building can be located and turned into a wall-sized mural to be hung inside the main entrance of the restored building.

This view of the skylight in the Old Athenaeum in Pittsfield’s Park Square has been hidden for years. The 1872 building, which is listed in state and national registers of historic places. is currently undergoing a restoration and upgrade that is expected to be completed later this year.
