I wish someone would tear down that fence recently installed in front of the Dickinson homestead. That fence has got to be one of the ugliest monstositys (sp?) in the town of Amherst. I cringe everytime I drive by it...which is daily. It makes the Dickinson homestead look like a fortess - totally uninviting!!!
Sorry, but I love it! Great improvement, as is the removal of the white fence. It really opens the building up rather than having it walled off. People have too much time on their hands. Stop micromanaging the rest of the world.
I like the gold emblem they repainted on the house.
(Wonder if they got permission from the Design Review Board?)
So you love tearing down the white fence because it really opens up that property AND you also love the hideous fence at the Dickinson Homestead - that incidentally really closes off that property.
Odd juxtaposition of like and dislike.
BTW - I'm not trying to micromanage the world...just expressing an opinion. Isn't that what blogs are all about?
I also like the gold emblem that has been repainted on the house.
Is the first picture misdated- or did they really do all the work in 4 days?
Is Extreme Makeover Campus Edition Show filming in Amherst?
Yeah, the dates are accurate. Amherst College had the entire fence down in one day (on the one year anniversary of the one year delay.)
Hey, when you have the $ you can make things happen quickly.
the emily fence is an authentic reproduction. a testament to the fact that historic preservation is not always beneficial to the environment.
the stonework is choice though!
