On November 8th, 2014, Architectural Heritage Foundation began the first phase of community engagement for the Historic Speedway Headquarters Building in Brighton.
“Architectural Heritage Foundation is a preservation developer,” said company president Sean McDonnell. “The preservation piece is just to raise some money to do the preservation, but more importantly it’s also about how to get people in here doing fun things and getting them to come back and do them again.”
As announced recently by the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), AHF and housing partner 243 Dutton LLC have been designated as the developers of the historic Speedway Headquarters Building in Brighton, Massachusetts.
Architectural Heritage Foundation has recently submitted an exciting redevelopment proposal to DCR (Department of Conservation and Recreation, the former MDC) for their Speedway Headquarters complex on Western Avenue in Brighton.
Architectural Heritage Foundation, in partnership with Historic New England and the Trustees of Reservations, will complete Deep Energy Retrofits at three historic properties in the Commonwealth: The Lyman Estate in Waltham, the Bullit Reservation in Conway/Ashfield, and the Appleton Farms Center for Agriculture and the Environment in Ipswich. Each of the Deep Energy Retrofits takes a different approach, and will provide valuable information for future retrofits of historic properties. Notable features include a historically sensitive retrofit to the Lyman Estate that preserves historic values of the property, efforts to make the Bullit Reservation a certified “passive house” that uses little to no fossil fuel energy, and a comprehensive building envelope treatment at Appleton Farms including exterior super-insulation, air source heat pumps and solar thermal hot water systems.
