the iconic Pink House
June 14 - July 5
the iconic Pink House turns 100!
The Pink House was an uninhabited historic house and popular photography and painting subject in Newbury, Massachusetts , United States. The house was built in 1925 and was privately owned until it was sold to Parker River Refuge in 2011. The house was considered by many to be a local icon and was the subject of a grassroots campaign to buy back the property from the refuge to preserve the house. In March 2025, after a decade of debate and legal challenges, the United States Fish & Wildlife Service demolished the house with intentions to restore the property to a wildlife habitat with partial public access.
