Gibraltar
When PDI first began investigating ways to permanently protect the
historic Gibraltar property, its Board did so with the realization that
the property must somehow "pay its own way." The vision to make
sure that happened was to find a private revenue- producing venture with
whom to partner-- PDI would restore and open the Marian Coffin Gardens to
the public, while the buildings would be leased to a private venture.
Adaptively reusing the mansion and the garage/greenhouse complex as an inn
and restaurant seemed the ideal marriage between finding a use for the
property while being able to provide public access. The unique partnership
preserves a historic treasure while providing a public amenity for the
community and its visitors.
PDI has joined forces with Someplace(s) Different, Inc. to restore and use the buildings as a luxury inn with fine dining. For more information on this adaptive reuse, including room reservations, weddings, and special events, visit the SDI website at: www.someplacesdifferent.com or call 1-888-300-6776
