SOUNDWATERS, Environmental Education Center, Stamford
The "Holly Houses" consist of two
separate buildings. The first dates to 1791. In 1835, John W. Holly
constructed a second, two story Georgian house. These two elegant
but simple houses make the new home for Sound Waters' - Environmental
Education Center. It is a community and educational center with children's
and adult programs dedicated to preserving Long Island Sound.
The restoration was completed with great respect for the historic
quality of the structures, using sustainable materials and environmental
engineering systems. It remains listed on the National Register of
historic places.
