Shadowbrook is a 100 year old summer mansion that was converted into a restaurant in 1943. Since then, it has gone on to become a wedding venue. Donnelly Construction was selected for 21st century, state of the art remodeling and 30,000 SF all steel framed addition project. Some other large changes include removing the roof of the kitchen and oak room to increase the height required for new MEP systems, a new ceremony pavilion replete with a private chapel, onsite salon and new porches to bring this wedding venue to tomorrow’s standards of ultra-private, luxury weddings. To preserve the history of this magnificent building, Donnelly Construction has removed and safely stored many of the antique doors, panels, chandeliers and moldings to be re-used for this project.
