For Katherine and her younger brother Charles, living at Snow School Apartments is truly like going home again: They attended the building’s namesake, the Charles A. Snow School, in the 1960s. After the school was closed in 2017, the site was sold to Avesta Housing for the purpose of building safe, quality, affordable homes for older adults.
“I am SO VERY thankful that I was able to find a home here in my hometown of Fryeburg and that my brother was able to as well so that we can check on one another daily,” Katherine said. “What has struck me as so moving is how 27 strangers came together under one roof and that we’re all different but yet all so very much alike! Our stories are unique to us, but we’ve become like a big family helping one another.
“It may sound corny, but while I have felt the lowest in my life, being here, I feel daily like I can knock on a door and that a new friend will be there if I need one.”
