Description
The center added classroom and exhibit space, including a diorama of Paul Revere's silver shop, plus offices and accessible restrooms previously unavailable at the historic house museum. The $4.1 million project won the 2017 Boston Preservation Alliance Preservation Achievement Award and the 2019/2020 Boston Society of Architects Honor Award for Accessible Design. Independent sources confirm the architect and the award; the exhibit-design and fabrication credits come from Mystic Scenic Studios' own published awards list rather than an independent project page.
