Meet Renowned Architect Patrick Ahearn at His Home in Edgartown, Massachusetts

Join us in rejecting modernity and embracing tradition in this season 4 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 405). We are in Edgartown, Massachuesets to meet renowned architect Patrick Ahearn, recognized for his traditional, New England cottage homes, the leading style for real estate on Martha’s Vineyard. Originally trained in modernism, Patrick came to believe in the value of historic architecture and its importance to society. In this segment, we tour one of Patrick’s favorite projects which was renovating a 17th century blacksmith’s home. Now, Patrick is a chairman of the Vineyard trust with the goal of preserving and restoring iconic landmarks on Martha’s Vineyard.
