Work has begun at the historic Dr. Isaac Fiske House as part of the Preservation Society’s Community Preservation Act-funded project.

The City Council appropriated $69,000 for the project at its June 20 meeting, which includes the repair and replacement of seven windows and the installation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units for four of the apartments in the historic house.

The Preservation Society acquired the Fiske House, an Underground Railroad site located at 263 Pine Street, in September 2018. The building is currently a multi-tenant apartment and office of the Preservation Society.
