Lynn Exterior Restoration Underway
September 27, 2010
The Mary Baker Eddy Historic House in Lynn, Massachusetts, is currently a hard-hat zone. By the end of 2010, exterior restoration efforts will have transformed the outside of the house so that it resembles much more closely the home that Mary Baker Eddy lived in from 1875-1882. It was here that she finished the first edition of her major work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures; organized the Church of Christ, Scientist; and laid the foundations of the Christian Science movement, which in a relatively short time, was known internationally.
Marc Truant and Associates, Inc., of Cambridge, Massachusetts, is the general contractor for this project. They have completed projects for The Paul Revere House, Harvard University, and Mount Auburn Cemetery. Gary Wolf of Gary Wolf Architects, Inc. is the Principal Architect.
This is the Museum’s most significant building project since construction of its current facility in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, in 1999. Learn about the latest at Lynn through image galleries, brief videos, and regular updates at www.longyear.org/LynnRestoration.
