Mission Hill Infill and Small Developments

Your wish has come true! A single-family home on Worthington Street has been listed for sale. $695,000. It's not quite as "special" as the others shown in my images above but a somewhat unique property in the Mission Hill neighborhood.

11 Worthington Street, Mission Hill, Boston

The listing has several interior photos - looks to have been untouched in years but in good shape?

Always loved Worthington St. It's like a colony of the South End up on the hill.
 
I wish the South End had built more colonies south of Melena Cass...
 
There were homes like that in Lower Roxbury prior to housing & highway projects and arsonists obliterating the place 1940-present.

What is a "family and community center"?

A place to have events, public meetings, daycares, summer camp programs, seminars (like getting a job/resume review, continuing education...) etc...
 
Jesus that went up quick

I suppose they don't have to do the same sort of prep that we're used to seeing for the major projects though

Site prep started last Oct. with the demolition of the basketball court and excavation of the hill. Early spring they started the foundation work which took the better part of July and early August to complete. "Seemed for evah!".

Thanks kz for your recent photo update. Great stuff as usual!!
 
I guess JP is moving north. Why is so much land being wasted on open space here? This is the city. There is a playground near here and a linear park along the Orange Line.

The pocket park is such a 1980's response to the old building burned down, the market cannot support new construction, so let's make it a park thing.

I appreciate the ambition. This area just seems like the wrong site for it.
 
Sebastian's back again I see.

I'm with John, although I have to say that this design does remind me of some of the hillside homes in SF.
 
I can't you why the City framed the RFP the way they did, but I'm pretty sure this proposal was in response to a tailored "Green District" (net/zero/sustainable - whatever you want to call it) RFP (much like some of the newer condo's across Columbus Ave in Roxbury)
 
Through several green strategies, the design achieves a projected energy surplus of 21% and a LEED score of +123 points.

Wow!
