Specialty Projects

Whipple has been called upon to do projects that are small but significant. Projects that have meaning beyond the bricks and mortar. We are proud of this ability to respond to such interesting and meaningful work.

Earle Bridge

Whipple has been asked by WPI to participate in multiple projects over our 50+ year history. The Earle bridge project was a specialty project we built for the client.

Worcester Club

Whipple added the new addition to the Worcester club as well as installed all new A/C systems and first floor mill work and several other rehabilitation projects.Worcester Club has been a client for 50 years.

Gough House

The restoration of this 1848 Italianate-style large home of John B. Gough is a phased construction project. Modified by subsequent owners and neglected in its maintenance over the last 30 years, it is to be brought back to its original unique detail. Three completed phases have addressed drainage, structural repairs, restoration of exterior wood trim, metal roofing, abatement of hazardous materials and painting.

Korean War Memorial

This was a much-coveted project that brought together the community as well as private and public interests. Prices were evaluated constantly to save money. We self-performed a good deal of the work and provided supervision to the Shriver Job Corps students, who dedicated their training and experience to this project to produce a beautiful, solemn spot. The many subcontractors and a team of volunteers required deft management skills to bring this long overdue memorial to reality.

American Cancer Society

Hope Lodge

This project involved the adaptive reuse of a Victorian house to a cancer respite facility. This program required the development of intimate private and common areas such as the kitchen, which was used by several families. Even for special function spaces such as the computer center, attention to the preservation of period features was maintained.
