Campus Construction Update, Sept. 20, 2010: 10 Frye St.
On Sept. 9, a crew from Facility Services restored the 1873 eagle weathervane to its roost atop the carriage house at 10 Frye St., Bates’ newest student residence. Carpenters Tim Chouinard and Tom Winslow went up in a 65-foot cherry picker to remount the bird, with painter Dan Sands, who gave the bald eagle its colors, standing by.
