Exploratory Work at Fowler Clark Epstein Farm

Historic Boston Inc. recently published a writeup on recent NBSS Preservation Carpentry program discoveries at the 18th century farm in Mattapan.

North Bennet Street School is one of the four non-profit partners working together to rehabilitate the 18^th century Fowler Clark Epstein Farm into a 21^st century working farm.

The first-year Preservation Carpentry students who investigated the front facade of the house will return next fall as second-year students to work on rehabilitating the front of the farmhouse.
