257 SPRINGTOWN
In 2023 Glasshouse Project was gifted the house and property next door to our current venue in New Paltz. The house on 257 Springtown Road in New Paltz was built in the 70’s as an energy efficient single family home with a weaving studio and wood workshop, and was featured in national architectural magazines. In 2011 it was severely damaged by a flood and has been abandoned since. It has three bedrooms, two baths, and ample room for creative process indoors and outdoors. We’re in the process of engaging local artists, community members, architects, engineers, and local municipality representatives to envision a restoration plan that would be meaningful for creatives in our area. Our principles are simple: restoring the house in a way that would maximize cultural benefit to our community while embracing the inevitability of future flooding.
