The Porches Inn
Overview
In the late 1990s the forgotten mill town of North Adams became a haven for technology companies and was infused with new life. Sparked by the visionary efforts of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), which has renovated parts of a sprawling mill complex, the Porches Inn represents a new twist on hospitality. Comprising an entire block of late 19th century row houses, Porches is an up-to-the-minute inn that still honors the spirit of the mill workers who lived and labored here for decades. The use of bold color and simple design elements lend an air of chic hominess that appeals to weekend escapists and business travelers alike. The inn is named after is most distinguishing feature, the long verandas that link the six separate structures and afford ample opportunities for lounging, reading, rocking and relaxing.
