  • Lanphear LIVE! Presents: Paul Keleher, Resiliency of Watch Hill Historic Homes in the 21st Century

    The Chaplin B. Barnes Reading Room 1 Bay Street, Westerly, RI, United States
    Special Events & Programs

    Watch Hill’s homes are an essential part of the community’s identity and coastal heritage. Many of these properties were built centuries ago with exceptional craftsmanship, yet they face increasing challenges from aging materials, intense coastal conditions, and changing weather patterns. This educational presentation, designed for both full time residents and seasonal homeowners, focuses on responsible stewardship: how thoughtful maintenance, resilience planning, and appropriate protection work together to help preserve older homes while respecting their important history and character.
