Sox Rock!


My love for the Sox started when I was a young lad growing up in Rhode Island. 


My summers were filled with plenty of baseball moments. I couldn’t get enough of the game. I lived for baseball and loved playing and watching the game every chance I had. To me it was all about the Red Sox. 

Getting a chance to actually go to Fenway Park was a dream come true. On these rare occasions we would drive into Boston and make our way through the city. I remember seeing the CITGO sign come into view,  I knew that the park was nearby.  I couldn’t wait.  …and then there was the moment when I first laid eyes on that field — the Green Monster, the triangle, the scoreboard; the players, the crowd!  It was better than any dream.  

Through the years, I was able to see some of my favorite players: Yaz, El Tiante and  Boomer. Not long ago, when I had the opportunity to visit Fenway, I got to enjoy our hero Big Papi. 

The Red Sox.   Fenway Park.   The crack of the bat. - It has always been so magical.

Thanks for all the great memories – Red Sox.

You rock!

Talbots' Begins Re-imaging Stores


Richard Brodeur received a call from both of the contractors on the two Talbot stores (Talbots Stores 67 Bellevue and 815 Rideau) that we just rolled out. They both praised our millwork packages and the service they received.

This project was definitely A GREAT TEAM EFFORT! 

Talbots partnered with Kramer Design Group of New York City on architecture, interior design, graphics and merchandising.

H&W hits the wall at RDC 2011

Herrick & White is so proud to be a booth partner of New England Home Magazine at the Residential Design & Construction (RDC) 2011 at the Seaport World Trade Center.

I've "borrowed" picture from New England Home Magazine's Blog entry  to show the backdrop designed by Leslie Fine and constructed at H&W.   I'll post more pictures soon.

Notice the fireplace? It's playing on a flat screen supplied by another booth partner. Cool, eh?

The Wannamoisett Archive Committee commissioned an installation featuring custom reproduction trophy cases by Herrick & White, displaying framed memorabilia and historic artifacts.


The Peregrine Group coordinated with McGeorge Architecture Interiors and Herrick & White to showcase trophies and over 50 photos and other pieces of memorabilia at the Club.

Charlton Memorial Hospital

Flashing back to July 2000, the following was written in H&W's internal newsletter, The Wood Post. It was written by Greg Clark, a former employee:

"Charlton Memorial Hospital was a maple panel project that was produced and installed in half of the typical production and installation time. The project consisted of 2400 square feet of sequence-matched maple panels that covered pilasters, wainscot, skylights and cabinets. The customer pushed this project off for 8 months and then asked us to complete the project, including installation in 6 weeks. The contractor was in a bind and asked if we could help. At the time Herrick & White was over capacity in engineering, manufacturing, finish and installation. In order to accomplish this request, everyone from sales to the installation crew had to be onboard with the reduced time frame.


To meet the deadline every department in the company pulled through. Some portions of installation and finish were subcontracted out, but even when those subs fell short of the goal, Herrick & White was able to regroup with only a couple hours notice and pick up where those subs left off. The project was completed on time and without a punch list being issued on any of H&W’s work. I think this project is a good example of H&W's ability to resolve problems when all departments pull together."
