Renowned Architect of Huseby House Dies at 86

David Sellers, a renowned architect whose work includes Putney’s Huseby House, died at 86. An article in The New York Times states, “he believed that architects could design better building if they did the construction themselves.” True to form, he used wood from Putney land to build the common room and staircase, and included Putney students as a major part of the design process.

Yesterday was Town Meeting day. And while our students are currently on spring break, the issues the town of Putney wrestles with remain relevant to life on campus.

May your maple trees run with sap this spring, and may the emerging blooms brighten your day.
