Am I the only one who loves these 1950s era brick high rises? I know a lot of people dont like them. I think theres an under appreciation of good background buildings, they really let the star buildings like the hancock or empire state building shine without drawing too much attention. I dont really consider a city to be a real city unless theres a few of these scattered around. The thing I dont like is many of the ground level activation these buildings have, but the ones that are built above a retail base that fit in to the street wall are great. I like cities with a bit of grit and many different phases of architecture. I absolutely hate the skylines of texas. Ill take the mix of styles over generations over dozens of rando pomo buildings any day.

I like pretty much anything from the 1950's, architecturally and otherwise, so yes, I do like the 1950s tall apartment buildings. Understated, classy, and clean. this one ^ is, so much better than the ones in Charles River Park (i.e., clunky and soviet looking).

It blows my mind that that townhouse is still derelict.

Also, Marc Roos used to be my head shop in college. IDK if this is an upgrade or not.

4/3 Taken in Charlestown. I have more from the day that could go here but thought this one should stand alone. It's a view I had never seen before.

That old brick building on the left is awesome. Are there any plans to convert it to condos (or anything else)?

This one reminds me of a photo I took last April on the Charles River Esplanade:
