The Narrow Gate attended the Ribbon Cutting at Abby's House yesterday - what a crowd! It's wonderful to see the impact our work has made. A video of the full ceremony is viewable on the Abby's House facebook page.
We're so excited to share our first photos of the Women's Center at Abby's House! A new reception desk, meeting rooms and community space, a commercial kitchen, bright new hallways, and of course, the thrift store! Abby's House provides so many great services to women, and we're glad to be able to help get the most out of their space.
We'll share photos of the new residential spaces next week. Many thanks to everyone at Abby's who let us interrupt their day with our cameras, and to Greig Cranna for shooting!

Construction is in progress on our renovation of Abby's House in Worcester - and there's an article on it's impact in the Worcester Telegram! It's great to see the impact of the work we do. Read more in the link above.
As demolition began this week at the site of Elizabeth Stone House’s future new home, we took a moment to photograph the existing structure on the site.
Early in the design process, we studied the possibility of incorporating the existing structure into the design of the new building. However, the brick and cinderblock building was in poor condition, and it was quickly determined that it would cost more than its value to preserve the old structure.
In the mean time, the old, one-story industrial building became home to a growing collection of murals celebrating the site’s future purpose: supporting strong women and families.
We’ll be sad to see the artwork go, but we hope the new building will be a welcome replacement - and we know the new tenants will be!
