The magnificent Spring Lawn mansion, built in 1904 for shipping magnate John Alexandre, stands as a remarkable testament to Lenox’s Gilded Age heritage. An architectural masterpiece in the heart of historic downtown Lenox, Spring Lawn represents a distinctive chapter in the history, character, and cultural legacy of the Berkshires. Today, this irreplaceable landmark faces an imminent threat of demolition, with plans by regional developers to raze much of the historic property for condominium development and a contemporary reconstruction of the main residence.

In response to this threat, a dedicated group of local residents and preservation-minded individuals has united around a shared mission: to save Spring Lawn and secure a meaningful future for this extraordinary property. Our vision is to carefully restore and revitalize the estate, giving it new purpose as a museum and private social club—one that celebrates the architectural grandeur, history, and enduring traditions of Lenox’s Gilded Age while enriching the cultural life of the community.

The challenges ahead are considerable, but the opportunity is equally extraordinary. With commitment, community support, generous contributions, and a shared determination to preserve what cannot be replaced, we believe Spring Lawn can be saved and restored to a place of prominence in Lenox once again.

Our mission is simple: preserve the past, create a future, and ensure that Spring Lawn remains part of Lenox’s story for generations to come.
