The birthplace of the Women’s Suffrage Movement, this property required modernization to ensure its year-round use.

The Women’s Rights National Historical Park consists of four major properties including the Wesleyan Methodist Church, which was the site of the Seneca Falls Convention, the first women’s rights convention. The Elizabeth Cady Stanton House, and the homes of other early women’s rights activists (the M’Clintock House and the Richard Hunt House) are also on display.

We managed a comprehensive mechanical and electrical renovation, converted the historic site for year-round use. This required the design new mechanical and electrical systems for the Wesleyan Chapel, where the Women’s Suffrage Movement was born in 1848, as well as for the historic building housing the Visitor’s Center, the outdoor amphitheater and a new water wall monument.
