Happy #officeartifactfriday and Happy Halloween!🎃 The latest artifact to grace HBI’s office happens to be wrapped right around the Old Corner Bookstore Complex– a spectacular interpretive scrim that not only conceals scaffolding, but shares over 300 years of site history with passersby!

Happy #OfficeArtifactFriday!! Today we’re showcasing a wood frame that has sat in HBI’s offices since our 2014 rehabilitation of the 1834 Alvah Kittredge House in #Roxbury. Dug out from the historic home’s cupola, this frame could have been sourced from Alvah Kittredge’s 19th c. furniture company!

Happy #OfficeArtifactFriday!😊 This week’s office #artifact is a mold of a corner block from the 1834 Alvah Kittredge House in #Roxbury! One block that was still in good condition was used to make a plaster mold, allowing the rest of the blocks to be replaced with resilient plaster casts
