A New Home. The Same RBF Community.
Some buildings are more than just buildings. They hold memories, tell stories, and connect generations.
The new home of RBF Studio is one of those places. Built by my great-grandfather Settimio, this building has been in my family for generations, and I am honored to be the fourth generation to conduct business within these walls. It is also one of the last remaining reminders of the granite-working industry that was once such an important part of Hallowell's identity.
Bringing RBF Studio here is deeply meaningful to me. I love this building's history and the connection it represents to my family and this community. As we work to transform the space, I feel that sense of history alongside the excitement of what comes next.
Now, this building is beginning a new chapter: one centered on movement, wellness, and community. My hope is to honor what came before while creating a welcoming place where people can gather, grow stronger, and take care of themselves for years to come.
The studio is on schedule to make the leap over to Hallowell in January 2027. I hesitate to give a firm date at this moment, but stay tuned for updates!
I'm excited to share this next chapter with you.
