PITTSFIELD, Mass. —After 15 years on North Street, Mission Restaurant will be closing its doors on Halloween.
The news was announced in a Facebook post on Sunday.
"We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to all our patrons for making Mission such an incredible part of downtown Pittsfield through the years. A special thank you to our team members, past and present, who brought their passion and talents to the restaurant shift after shift – though our chapter together may be closing, the memories and experiences we've shared are timeless," the post read.
"Finally, we would like to thank all musicians for bringing so much joy to our bar + dining area. We will always remember the rich legacy of live music you left behind in the window as we walk by 438 North St."
The eatery is known for having regular music —often jazz— as well as its unique menu offerings and cozy atmosphere. It was initially opened by Jenny Benson in 2007 and was bought by Mill Town Capital during the pandemic.
The community is encouraged to come in and say its goodbyes to Mission for the remainder of the month.

Friday Front Porch Feature: Historic Craftmanship on Park Avenue
By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — Are you looking for a unique estate with historic craftsmanship? Then this is the home for you.
Our Friday Front Porch is a weekly feature spotlighting attractive homes for sale in Berkshire County. This week, we are showcasing 1 Park Ave.
This four-bedroom, 4 1/2-bath house was built in 1913 and is 6,755 square feet (which includes a finished third floor) with more than five acres.
The home is rich in character with wood flooring, a sweeping staircase, and original architectural details that are a rare find.
The main level includes a kitchen with a butler's pantry and a walk-in pantry. There is also a living room with fireplace, a den, drawing room, and multiple porches to enjoy the outdoors.
Upstairs you'll find the primary suite that includes a sitting room and a sun porch. It also has a bathroom with a jetted soaking tub, steam shower, and bidet.
The home also has a four-car garage and its finished third floor is perfect to use as another living space or a recreational room.
The house is on the market for $1,275,000.
We spoke with Sheila Thunfors with Stone House Properties who is listing the home.
What do you think makes this house stand out in the current market?
It is so rare to find a house of this vintage with such exceptional craftsmanship and in such outstanding condition. To replicate would be near impossible and beyond exorbitant in cost. There is a remarkable balance of elegance with comfortable everyday living.
