  • Thorne Bldg. Report
    PLANNING STUDY for the THORNE MEMORIAL BUILDING FINAL REPORT Presented to the Village of Millbrook, New York January 23, 2004 Conducted by: Adelaide Camillo Nonprofit Planning and Development in collaboration with: Kristin Lancino, Performing Arts Consultant and John G. Waite Associates, Architects SECTION I Introduction The Thorne Building Planning Study was commissioned by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Millbrook to assist them in determining their options for revitalizing the Thorne Memorial Building (hereinafter referred to as the Thorne Building). This study was made possible through the generosity and foresight of an anonymous donor who is a resident of the Town of Washington. The Village Board approved the study at their May 2003 meeting and engaged Adelaide Camillo, a Nonprofit Planning and Development Consultant and also a Town of Washington resident, to conduct the study. Ms. Camillo worked with Kristin Lancino, a programming arts consultant, and John G. Waite Associates, an architectural firm with extensive expertise in historic restoration of municipal buildings and specific prior experience with the Thorne Building. This planning study was recommended to the Village Board by the Thorne Building Revitalization Committee. The Thorne Building Revitalization Committee, a grassroots community group appointed by the previous Village administration in March 2002, advocated the continued use of the Thorne Building for educational and cultural purposes. The Committee’s first established priority was to renovate the Thorne Building in an historically sensitive manner, appropriate to a building listed on the New York State and National Register of Historic Places. The initial focus of this study was to engage John G.
