The Meetinghouse at St. Peter’s is a remarkable redevelopment of two abandoned parish school buildings, c. 1905 and 1914. St. Peter’s was totally rehabilitated in the early 2000s by the Christopher Finlay team into one-and two-bedroom, affordable senior apartments. Great care was taken to retain the historic aspects, including a massive curtain that spanned the theater stage. The adaptive reuse of these former Catholic girls’ school buildings received the 2006 Leonard G. Murphy Award for Outstanding Commercial Restoration, awarded by ARCH (Architecture and Community Heritage).
TownParc at Paris is a charming enclave of townhomes designed for working families. The community boasts affordable two-and three-bedroom homes and a clubhouse with pool and barbecue areas.

This Meetinghouse at Fidelity is a 31-unit senior living community that was originally a 1920-era Renaissance Revival brick office building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Finlay team redeveloped the property, retaining the unique historic elements to provide affordable senior housing for the city. The adaptive reuse of this architecturally unique building was awarded the Governor’s Award for Historic Preservation in 2005.

Hillview was one of the first affordable, family apartment communities developed by the Christopher Finlay team.

It became a vital workforce housing community, managed by Lloyd Jones until it was sold a few years ago.
Tucked away among the western New Hampshire foothills, Prescott Hill is an attractive family community, affordable to the workforce population.
