The Community Hall is next door to the Dyott. Rents include heat and private phone. The Hewitt Building once housed a bank and later the Masonic Hall. Next door is the Dyott Building, a former dry goods store housing two living spaces and the Refuge office. The Refuge has a large and a small backyard for outdoor work or gatherings.
Next door is the small public park created jointly by the Refuge and the community.
The Community Hall which adjoins the park is the site of Refuge fundraising events and is often available for use by artists for workshops or performances. This space was once the Masonic Hall and has a raised dais at one end. The high-ceilinged living room could serve as studio space for some types of work. An artist using the Hewitt Downstairs studio could also use this living space. It can also be used by a painter or potter using the downstairs Hewitt studio.
