The Trustees of Reservations, Archives & Research Center. RESTRICTIONS ON ACCESS This collection is open for research. ELEANORE P. BLOEDEL AND LAWRENCE H. BLOEDEL The property now known as Field Farm in Williamstown, Massachusetts was acquired by Lawrence H. and Eleanore P. Bloedel in 1945. The couple worked with Edwin Goodell (1893-1971) to design the main house, which was completed in 1949. In 1966, the contemporary guesthouse now referred to as the Folly was completed. It was designed by architect Ulrich Franzen (1921-2012). Eleanore Clair Palmedo Bloedel and Lawrence Hotchiss Bloedel married on 16 February 1924 in New York, New York. Eleanore P. Bloedel was born on 20 January 1901 in Brooklyn, New York to Emma Sondern Palmedo (1867-1945) and Ulrich Palmedo (1862-1909). Lawrence H. Bloedel was born on 21 March 1902 in Bellingham, Washington to Mina Louise Prentice Bloedel (1874-1951) and Julius Harold Bloedel (1864-1957). The Bloedel family had been part-time owners of the MacMillan Bloedel Lumber Company in Washington State. Lawrence H. Bloedel began his career as the Librarian at his alma mater, Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. During World War II, he served as a machinist in the Army Ordnance Corps in North Africa and Sicily. After the War, the Bloedels purchased a farm from the Field Family in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where they raised two children. The couple commissioned the houses on their new property to reflect their interest in modern American Art, which they collected extensively. They also collected cartoon art, such as works by Peter Arno, which were published in the New Yorker. In 1960, the Bloedels established their Greylock Foundation to donate money to a variety of artistic and cultural institutions. Upon Lawrence H. Bloedel’s death on 18 November 1976 a significant part of their art collection was donated Williams College Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. Eleanor P. Bloedel continued to live at the property until her death in 1984 and bequeathed the property to The Trustees of Reservations.

Edwin Goodell designed the main house at Field Farm in 1948 for the Bloedels in hybrid Art Modern and International style. The guesthouse, now referred to as the Folly, was designed by Ulrich Franzen and built 1964-1966. The design of the Folly uses false perspective, so the building looks smaller than it is from the outside and located near a pond. The living room is cut into two distinct sections with one half oriented to the outside. Lawrence H. Bloedel designed and built some of the furniture still used in the house. Visitors to the property can enjoy miles of trails overlooking Mount Greylock and the sculptures around the property. The houses on the property are now used as guesthouses. The Trustees of Reservations operates nearly eighty acres of the property for crops and pastures. Nancy Freeman and Sally Foote added additional land to the property in 1990 and additional land was purchased in 1994.
