Skinner Announces Move to Marlborough, Mass.
Aug 20, 2008

Skinner Inc., the auction house, has announced it will move from its long-time Bolton, Mass. gallery to a new facility located at 274 Cedar Hill Street in Marlborough, Mass. This newly purchased site will host the auction house's corporate offices, suburban auction gallery, and warehouse. Currently, Skinner has galleries in Boston and Bolton, Mass. and a leased warehouse in nearby Hudson, Mass. The new 69,000 square foot space, on five acres, is approximately three times the size of its Bolton building, and accommodates parking for 200 cars. Located near the junction of Interstate 495 and the Massachusetts Turnpike, the new location is some seven miles closer to Skinner's Boston gallery.
