The artists who reside and work in this historic property have always done their best to preserve and honor the legacy they have inherited. The door was beautiful before, but just look at the difference now!
Here's the before in a photo from 2008.
The wood had acquired a dark stain over the years and the wonderful details of the ornamentation were less distinct.
If you love this wonderful structure and the concept of an art community that it represents, consider joining the Friends of Fenway Studios or donating what you can to the non-profit that assists with the upkeep and protection of the building.

Here's a run-down of what's open in Boston on Veterans' Day, information on Boston trash collection, parking meters, and MBTA schedules for Monday, November 12, 2012. This year, the city of Boston is celebrating the holiday on the Monday following the traditional date of November 11th. That means you can start planning a long weekend.
Be very careful about parking meters on Monday. *Please read the detailed note below.
We publish these reminders before each holiday to help you make the most of your time off!
Restaurants, bars: Open
Convenience stores: Open
Supermarkets: Open
Retail stores: Are allowed to open if the owners choose
Liquor stores: Open
City, Town, State and Federal offices and facilities are closed: This includes schools, libraries, and the Postal Service (express mail will be delivered). Only emergency services are available.
Financial Services: As the British would say, this is a Bank Holiday with most Banks closed. But, we are noticing that some banks are keeping some branches open so check with your own institution.
"City of Boston parking meters are free on Sundays and legal holidays
and no time limit is enforced. All other parking regulations,
including rush hour restrictions at meters, remain in effect. It is important to note that this applies only to the day that the actual holiday falls on, not to the day that offices may be closed in celebration of the holiday. For example, if New Year's Day is Saturday but offices are closed on Friday in recognition of the holiday, parking meters will be in operation on Friday but not on Saturday." Remember this holiday falls on Sunday but the city offices are closed on Monday.
Street Sweeping: City says, "Daytime street sweeping is suspended on city holidays, but nighttime sweeping schedules remain in effect. Constituents are advised to call 617-635-4500 for exact details."

The bread itself has a fine texture and is filled with Swiss and Blue cheeses. It's delicious on it's own and if you are going to grill it, you should make sure the filling lives up to that standard.
To keep the quality outstanding, we grated a light coating of an aged cheddar onto both slices of the sandwich then thinly sliced some of Stillman's Farm, Cherokee purple heirloom tomatoes and piled those on each piece of bread. Finally, we added some shreds of Jamón Serrano to each pile.
To gild our masterpiece, we melted the fat from the jamon and added some butter before we began grilling the sandwiches in a hot skillet. Porky flavor carressed the bread inside and out.
Shredding the ham made sure we would get a bit in each bite. Sometimes when we've left thinly sliced meat whole, the slice has pulled out of all that gooey, grilled, goodness in the first bite. The shredding process also left the stripes of fat that inspired us to melt them with the butter.
The first bite put us in celebration mode so we cracked open a split of champagne to enjoy with our toasties! It seemed to fit with Pain D'Avignon's heritage!
