About us

Our story begins with an abandoned factory, perched above Fishkill Creek, restored to reflect Beacon’s spirit of creativity and resilience. Our modern, family-run property celebrates the intersection of old and new, industry and nature.

Rooted in history.

The historic structures on our property were built as part of the Matteawan Manufacturing Company in the early 1800s. As one of Beacon’s first factories, The Roundhouse saw decades of change and dozens of businesses. Behind its curved walls (for ventilation), beside the creek (for power), ideas took shape: dyes, textiles, lawnmowers.

Today, after decades of dormancy and disrepair, the restored buildings honor the innovative legacy and creative spirit of the region.

Restored with Purpose

Utilizing as much of the original structures as possible—from the wooden beams to the oversized factory windows—the transformed Roundhouse speaks to the spirit of the past.

Locally made furnishings, lighting fixtures, and tiles, tell the story of Beacon’s present, burgeoning arts scene.
