Barre Betterment recognizes 2 ‘heritage houses’
The Barre Betterment Committee presented Heritage House awards to two homeowners.
BARRE – The Barre Betterment Committee has presented two “Heritage House” awards to the owners of well-kept houses that have endured for about two centuries.
Betsy Miller, president of the BBC, presented Heritage House plaques to Willy and Joan Wraight, posthumously, and to William and Sue Bias.
The Wraight house was built in Barre Center in the early 1800s by the same gentleman who also built the Barre Center Presbyterian Church, Miller said.
The Bias house was built in 1841 by William Puzey out of fieldstone cobble.
The Barre Betterment Committee’s mission is to promote, unite, improve and enhance the quality of life for the common good and general welfare of the people of the Town of Barre. All Barre residents are welcome to join the BBC in this mission. For more information, send a message through Facebook to the Barre Betterment Committee or call (585) 590-7503.
