I didn't know about Roslindale Hardware, that's cool. The Pleasant I am well acquainted with. It's a very cool space. You also reminded me of Sullivan's Pharmacy which apparently opened in 1912 (such a big year for Boston) and moved into their current location in 1976. This is more of a...

Yeah, I'm really confused about this. All I can find is that 'they need to vacate' which usually means the landlord is jacking up the rent, but that building was purpose built for them in 1912(?), do they not own it or are maintenance costs on a 100+ year old building just too high for a piano shop?

Surviving as a retail or restaurant space is a challenge anywhere and surviving for 100+ years is especially impressive. Perhaps Boston have been lucky in this regard and we had more than our fair share of such places, however it seems that we have lost A LOT of spaces recently that had...

Not sure if this is exactly the right thread for this but WOW https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/02/europe/subway-train-netherlands-buffers-scli-intl/index.html

Sooo close! (I get why the "In God We Trust" is on there, but UGH)

One of the few times I prefer new to historically accurate. Green corrugated tin has never really been a favorite of mine.

I know this is probably a stupid question, but does CLT lose any structural integrity if it gets wet? If a water main breaks on the top floor or the roof develops a leak and the timbers get wet will they de-laminate like particle board does? I mean the obvious answer is, "No, of course not" but...

Man, working from home is tough. You are just about to send in your work right at deadline and the kid wanders in with a fist full of crayons...

So The WHO is an alright band, I guess, but have you heard The HU?

Holy shit, it's really happening. I mean, it's still a half-assed 'solution', but it's probably the biggest change we'll ever witness to the site in our lifetimes.

I was looking for an appropriate transit thread to post this in but failing that, here it goes.

Does anyone know if the building is landmarked or qualifies for landmarking?

You know how much them CR-V drivers love their off-roadin'!

I, too, hate when people come into an architecture forum and try to discuss ... architecture.
