In Salisbury, Anne MacDonald lovingly restored a historic stone boathouse on Washinee Lake, transforming it from disuse into a striking space for summer gatherings. With the help of local artisans, she preserved its original charm—fireplace, wood paneling, and all—while adding subtle modern touches. Today, the boathouse is both a social haven and a return to her rowing roots.
