…just better.
The Federal-style Sherwood House across Church Lane from the Y is being prepared for its move 6 to 8 feet closer to the street.
It’s headed for new life as a restaurant — with outdoor dining and gas lights — and office space on the 2nd floor.
The Y is moving too, but it won’t get jacked up. A whole new building is planned for Mahackeno.
Hard to believe — or maybe not — that something built in 1978 has aged a lot worse than one dating back to 1802.
The original portion of the Y was built in the 1920’s
Well, the move is certainly a lot less dramatic than the one made many years ago by the Saugatuck Congregational Church. Didn’t that move make it into Life Magazine?
It did indeed, circa 1950. The church moved across and down the Post Road — it was located basically where the Sunoco station is now, near South Compo. Seems to fit perfectly on the present site!
