The Springfield Preservation Trust is proud to announce its 2024 Annual Garden Party Fundraiser, featuring music, hors d’oeuvres, wine, beverages, and a luscious formal garden setting at Le’ Chateau Douillett, the bed and breakfast and events venue at 400 Maple Street. This event will occur on August 25 at 1pm, courtesy of homeowner and host Cheryl Duyette. The theme is “Linen & Lace: A French Provincial Garden Party Fundraiser.” Summer linen and lace encouraged.
About the Home & Gardens
Built-in 1929, 400 Maple Street is historically known as the Clarence School House—the mansion is Springfield’s only example of French Provincial architecture and is one of the last large homes built in the Maple Hill Historic District. French Provincial style was popular between the two world wars and was usually reserved for people of wealth. The grandeur of the home translates, too, to its formal gardens.
Support SPT in its mission to preserve and protect properties in Springfield, which have architectural, historic, educational, or general cultural significance—including properties such as this one!—by attending our Annual Garden Party Fundraiser this year!
Tickets are $40 for SPT members and $50 for non-members, and can be purchased online via Eventbrite.
