Selling one church to fix another to house music academy in Adams

ADAMS — The Berkshires Academy for Advanced Musical Studies is the proud owner of two churches; the problem is, it only needs one.
So, the academy, which was given the former First Baptist Church this summer, has put its current home, the former St. Mark’s Church, on the market.
Don Sommer, one of the organizers, emphasized that the academy was not closing; activities eventually will move to the new space just down the street.
“The Baptist church is much more conducive to a performance and music venue,” Sommer said. “It’s going to make a perfect concert space.”
The academy purchased St. Mark’s, at 39 Commercial St., in December 2019 for $150,000, and then spent an additional $125,000 on refurbishing the structure and renewing the heating system.
