Davem, was it all just apartments upstairs? I could never quite tell what was going on up there given the random assortment of junk seen in every window.
Huh...there was always a group of black gay/crossdressing/transgender kids hanging around in the front doorway that I assumed lived there; they were also frequently seen wandering around the Berklee area. Maybe they just rented a space there for their, uh, artistic endeavors?
As I recall there was some sort of LGBT community center in the upper floors of that building- my old roommate would go there a lot before we were roommates, and I would often meet her in front of the building and then head off to wherever it was we were planning on going that day.Huh...there was always a group of black gay/crossdressing/transgender kids hanging around in the front doorway that I assumed lived there; they were also frequently seen wandering around the Berklee area.

Davem, can you tell what the cornice is made of? It is A) the original cleaned up, or is it B) a replica cornice, and if so is it made of wood or some nasty EIFS?
I'm in the building across the street a lot, and have been trying really hard to find a flaw in the replica facade. So far, I can't. They've done really, really good work here.
