Wilder Block

Nature of Work: Renovations and additions to rehabilitate a historic town block dating back to 1875 including 8 apartments, River Gallery School, and storefront space

Location: Brattleboro, Vermont

The Wilder Block underwent a complete renovation after a devastating fire and is once again contributing to the health and economic vitality of downtown Brattleboro. It provides eight light-filled, one-bedroom apartments, space for the River Gallery School, and street-level commercial space.
