The Barrington Preservation Society has rescheduled its annual plaquing program on Wednesday, February 26 at 7 PM in the Auditorium on the second floor of Peck Library.
The five honorees are:
• ca. 1763 Joseph Allen, Jr. House, 153 George Street, on Nockum Hill, recently named to the National Register of Historic Places. Owners: Jason and Christine Lawrence.
• ca. 1769 General Thomas Allin House, 20 Lincoln Avenue. Owners: Nathaniel L. and Julie S. Taylor.
• 1897 Mary Eliza Dyer House, 8 Holly Lane on Rumstick Point. Owners: Stephen E. and Caroline K. Tortolani.
• 1911 Lena L. Mathews House, 32 Fountain Avenue in the “Drownville Plat.” Owner: Nancy L. Tobias
• 1913 Lucian H. Hunt House, 48 Washington Road in West Barrington. Owners: Jeffrey and Dorie P. Balch.
Following the awards, Barrington architect David Andreozzi, will present an illustrated talk on “An Architect’s Path Towards the Relevance of the Contemporary Vernacular.”
Mr. Andreozzi graduated from Barrington High School in 1979, earned his art and architecture degrees at Rhode Island School of Design and currently has his practice based in Barrington and lives in Bristol, RI.
Over 25 years, Andreozzi has learned that, to be successful, both owner and architect should relate their project to the already built environment in terms of scale, the relationship of details and materials and local craftsmanship.
The plaquing program is free and open to the public.
