Owners of the Orchard House Holding Community Meeting to Discuss Future of the Buildling

The Beacon High School will hold a on Tuesday, Sept. 18 in Town Hall at 7 p.m.

Beacon School, which is run by the Walker School, owns the farmhouse at 917 Belmont Street which dates back to the early 1830s. 

The school applied to tear down the house, but in July on the building. Since then, the Historic District Commission has started efforts , which would prevent the house from being torn down.

School officials told the Historical Commission that they want to find a way to save the building while still meeting the needs of their students.

At the meeting, school officials will go into more detail about the Beacon High School campus, talk about options for preserving the house and brainstorm about ways to raise money to save the house.
