Built in 1892 by the YWCA as a boarding house for 50 women, this venerable six story masonry structure was also home to the Worcester Performing Arts Center and Foothills Theatre. In 2020-21, RP Masiello renovated and repurposed the building for 26 apartments now known as Chatham Lofts.
Chatham Lofts represents a sophisticated urban residential apartment community in the heart of Worcester’s Theater District, offering one-of-a-kind units highlighting the building’s historic architectural features. This project was recognized with a Silver Hammer Award for historic restoration from the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce. This project was also awarded a 2022 Worcester Preservation Award.
