Paul Ivory is chair of the Great Barrington Historical Commission and is the longtime executive director, now retired, of Chesterwood, the summer estate of architect Daniel Chester French.
This survey of a portion of Great Barrington's rich catalogue of historic buildings was a significant undertaking for the Historical Commission. It provides the town with the first of a series of reports that provide documentation of sites worthy of preserving and those potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
