The Meadowlark,
A historic studio/cottage for short term rental
At the height of his career, the distraction of frequent visitors,
models, assistants and clients in Mr. French’s main studio
prompted the sculptor to build a second studio at Chesterwood
in 1905. Here, in this cool, quiet, secluded space, French
found the ideal atmosphere for the intense concentration
necessary for his work. After French’s death in 1931, the
studio was adapted for use as a summer residence. Some
of French’s original line drawings and notes can still be
found on the walls of this artist’s studio. The Meadowlark
was renovated a few years ago, and decorated by The Red
Lion Inn to accommodate guests looking for a private,
non-traditional overnight experience. The Meadowlark boasts
a large north skylight, spacious living room, small kitchen, a
full bath, and a large deck off the back.
The Meadowlark is available for rentals from late spring
through fall, and reservations may be made by telephoning
The Red Lion Inn at 413-298-5545 or through their web site:
www.redlioninn.com/rli/meadowlark.html.
Guests staying at the Meadowlark enjoy temporary
membership in the Friends of Chesterwood, including
free admission to the property throughout their stay.
