PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Insurance Group, a Berkshire Bank affiliate, has moved its headquarters from 66 West St. to 43 East St. (Old Town Hall) in the city’s Park Square Historic District.
Berkshire Insurance Group's new headquarters will offer the following services: property and liability coverage for individuals and business clients as well as life, disability, long-term care and a full suite of employee benefits. Berkshire Insurance Group provides services in Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and Vermont.
The interior renovations made to Old Town Hall by Berkshire Insurance Group included removing a teller line and a bank safe as well as constructing cubicles for its staff. All renovations were made with the utmost integrity to maintain the historic significance of the building. The new location is conveniently located in downtown Pittsfield and offers plenty of free off-street parking for customers.
"Our agency has a history of helping Berkshire County customers dating back to the 1870s," said Steven W. Cronin, vice president of Berkshire Insurance Group. "We are pleased to call the historic Old Town Hall our home, and look forward to continue to serve generations of clients."
Old Town Hall is a historic building on Park Square in the heart of downtown Pittsfield. Located at 43 East St., on the corner with Allen Street, this 1832 building served for 135 years as the center of municipal government. Built in the Federalist style to serve as the town hall, it became City Hall when Pittsfield became a city in 1891. The hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and included in the Park Square Historic District in 1975.
