Berkshire Contractor Builds Atop a Skyscraper in New York
A Berkshire County builder, Arthur Yerkes of New Lebanon, formerly of Richmond, completed a 16,000 vacation home atop Abercrombie & Fitch on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The pre engineered Stanmar Leisure Homes unit, delivered in pieces, cost about 25,000 dollars plus freight, and now serves as a beach vacation house with potential ski lodge use. The project faced long permitting, tight elevator access, and long workdays, with 2,000 visitors opening day and two contracts secured in the first week.
