Workers’ Housing and Mill Buildings: Redevelopment in Upper Falls

Architect Jane Galli will offer a look at worker housing in Newton Upper Falls in the context of Newton Lower Falls’ extensive redevelopment and of New England mill buildings' redevelopment and adaptive reuse. Why do so many of the original wood-frame buildings remain in the Upper Falls neighborhood, while most of those in the Lower Falls neighborhood have been demolished? Where else can you go on short excursions to see 18th and 19th century examples of worker housing and industrial mill buildings in New England? The talk will address these questions and more! Co-Sponsored by Historic Newton and the Newton Free Library. At the Newton Free Library, 330 Homer Street, Newton 02459. Free.
