Louis H. Garfield House
This historic three unit building in Newton Corner, named for a former board member who died unexpectedly, opened in 1996 and provides transitional housing for women and children who are survivors of domestic violence.

Named in memory of Oak Hill bus accident victim Kayla A. Rosenberg, whose father, Newton attorney Jason Rosenberg, provided many hours of legal assistance on this project.
