  1. Looked it up on google maps, the existing structure could use a little love but is miles better than this. A true shame, especially given all the empty lots or actual tear downs in this city.

    • It’s truly depressing how many beautiful old buildings are getting torn down for this basic architecture. I used to get mad at the architects and developers, but after awhile, it falls on the people renting and buying. There’s obviously a demand for these boring buildings with their really ugly balconies. It’s all over the city. I don’t know what’s worse, the design or the cheap materials used to build them.

  2. Don’t know how far along these plans are, but such a shame! Is it the same architecture company churning out these designs? It would be so nice to at least preserve the current facade (who doesn’t love a bay window?), but I suppose that wouldn’t allow for those hideous balconies. I don’t know about renters being responsible—it’s an incredible location and if a unit is available, it’s going to be rented (pandemic excepting…). Sad to see, as a former tenant! The owner was the absolute sweetest man and a great landlord. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the building was still standing, considering the area and all the other construction on the block through the years. Anyway… hope he’s doing well—if he sold the property to retire, I can’t begrudge him that!
