Invitation to tour of the new building. Has images of the building, floor plans, and an elevation. Roc's Comments: This one was hard. The directors of the Harbor House changed and the board changed when we were in the process of doing this project. There was an understandable fracture on the board between saving the old schoolhouse on Main Street and moving to this new facility. The plans were for a state of the art daycare center, a multi use gymnasium/ meeting room and an exercise/ health facility. The Committee chose to build two of the three functions and included a mechanical system for the eventual third (exercise) wing. Carl Haskell was the project manager on this one. Either Todd Hardy or Jeff Wright did the computer drawing.
