Abby's House: 2020 Tsongas Award Winner
Last week, Abby’s House received the 2020 Paul & Niki Tsongas Award from Preservation Massachusetts. The project is a renovation of a historic 1924 masonry building, home to 56 units of permanent supportive housing for low-income and formerly homeless women and survivors of domestic violence, as well as offices and program space dedicated to support and advocacy services.
Preservation Massachusetts put together a wonderful video about the project including some great before & after shots, as well as interviews with Stephanie Page (Director of Abby’s House), Maura Tsongas (Development consultant, Stone Soup Collaborative), Andrea Daskalakis (Massachusetts Housing Investment Corporation), and our own Kitty Ryan!
“The Tsongas Award is Preservation Massachusetts' highest honor, honoring people and projects that have displayed the highest level of commitment to historic preservation in the Commonwealth.” - Preservation Massachusetts
