Under construction

There was some excitement in the middle of Unionville the morning of Oct. 14: the back third of the historic building at Wollaston Road and Route 82 was being torn down! The owners, the Fenzas, are converting the building into an apartment house, and from what I saw (of course I went over and watched) it's going to be a first-class renovation and certainly a big improvement over what was there.
The neighbors I spoke to are delighted to have another Fenza project in town. Said one: "The Fenzas had a neighborhood open house when they finished renovating the building that historically was the Unionville Hotel (the one that sat there in limbo for a few years) and it was wonderful. They also renovated the red barn directly across 82 from that building-- they did that years ago. Top-shelf work all. It's good for the neighborhood!"
"It will be extraordinary," commented another village resident. "Those people have great taste."
