NESAH Tour
Referred from Dorienne Farzan
Jason Bouchard Nawrocki, and I am on the board of directors for the New England Society of Architectural Historians. Our group is planning a tour in Newport on September 14th. So far, we will be viewing the geothermal system at Chateau sur Mer and the LaFarge interiors of Newport Congregational Church. To round out our day in Newport, I was wondering if the group might be able to view the restoration progress at Belmont Chapel?
The tour would involve board members and some of our members, so I am anticipating 20-30 people.
If this is possible, that would be great. Would there be a fee, and what information would you need from us?
