A 1920s administrative and classroom building at the historic Clarke School for the Deaf, Hubbard Hall’s high ceilings and generous windows have been repurposed as high-end residences.  Perched atop Round Hill overlooking downtown Northampton, these luxury apartments boast original historic details, restored and new hardwood floors, fireplaces and upmarket modern amenities. 

The historic masonry building received new insulation at all exterior walls and new double pane windows.  Finish materials and HVAC equipment were selected carefully for efficiency and reliable performance.
