87 Marshall Street

87 Marshall Street: Creation, Disruption, and Renewal in the Northern Berkshires is a hot-off-the-press publication by local author John Sprague. It tells the story of the one million square foot collection of factory mill buildings which now house MASS MoCA - an international, multidisciplinary cultural center and highly respected museum of contemporary art. John Sprague takes us through the history of this significant site in North Adams, Massachusetts, drawing on his nearly three decades with Sprague Electric and more than 50 years of industrial experience. He enlivens his narrative with real-life examples of how enterprises are born, grow, become dominant, and then still sometimes fail, to become reborn in new guises.
