Boston, MA
9/23/2023

The Huntington Theatre has been named one of 2023's Boston Preservation Alliance award winners! This project took great care to restore the original 1925 theatre, while adding modern upgrades to expand its capabilities and attract a new generation of theatergoers. Work included the renovation of the existing theatre building, renovation of an adjacent 20,000 SF support building, and the fit-up of a 15,000 SF lobby in new adjacent residential tower. In her remarks on the renovation, Alison Frazee, Executive Director of the Boston Preservation Alliance, said, "'All the world's a stage' takes on new meaning at the Huntington Theatre where every feature, from the dazzling star lights to the charming carved acorns in the wood trim, steals the spotlight. This project is a perfect blend of preservation and modern upgrades, keeping the curtain up for countless performances to come."
