Home of the Week: This 1966 deck house in Sudbury for $1.15m is a nature oasis

This four-bedroom home is a perfect example of why pre-fab deck houses were popular in leafy suburbs. Driveways are utilitarian constructs. But sometimes they serve a greater purpose, like the gravel version that winds, tree-shrouded, to this deck house sitting in a verdant clearing — a hardscaped source of serenity.

New England's Most Famous College Town Is Home To 'The Ugliest Building In America'

New England is famous for its fall foliage, Colonial architecture, and institutions of higher education. Massachusetts, in particular, is a major post-secondary hub. It's home to the Five Colleges of the Pioneer Valley, the colleges of greater Boston, and Cambridge, which is home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). MIT is considered one of the most prestigious schools in the United States, and has been located at its current campus since 1916, amassing an impressive collection of buildings designed by famous architects like I.M. Pei, Eero Saarinen, and Frank Gehry. One that has attracted controversy is Simmons Hall, an undergraduate residence hall that won the 2025 Aesthetic Atrocity Award for "the ugliest building in America." Bestowed by The Architectural Uprising, an international group of architects and urbanists in favor of traditional architecture, the nod is meant to raise awareness of what they deem the blight of Modernism.
