Lookaround at ~100 feet
And 60 meters or about 200 feet, which apparently is as high as drones can fly in this area
In-Effing-Credible, Kz!
When such a rarely shown angle is taken, it looks like a completely different city. Thank you!!!

It does look like a different city. St. Petersburg, Russia with it's stately blocks of grand classic buildings going on and on comes to mind.

There actually will be a chance to extend them across melnea cass once that area is eventually redeveloped. Will it happen though? Very unlikely.

All of the below pics from this person's page. I don't have twitter but found it through google.
Kz - I am speechless looking at these. You and your drone are getting rare angles of the city that bring new vistas. Some of these angles…..it almost looks like a different city. Magnificent.
great shot of my HS!

Newman Prep?
Commonwealth. Newman was the only school we ever beat at basketball.

From Kz's absolutely fantastic photos, 330 Beacon stands out like an incongruous sore thumb. A Tremont on the Common in the Back Bay. What was there before? And why was this height permitted?

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I actually don't think this one is that bad.

Yeah, I've always liked the building in isolation - - - but that one always sticks out as a really sore thumb in the real world there.
Incredibly out of context to its surroundings. Who actually said, "Yeah, this block will go well next to 19th century Parisienne mansard roofs!'. The 1960's version of putting a lab across the street from the new State Street HQ.
Probably the same people who said "Yeah, these brick plazas, brutalist monstrosities, and random parking lots should replace Scollay Square and the West End in the name of revitalization!"

Amazing and sad that they were able to find photos of the houses that were demolished for it. Definitely sours my opinion of the building.

Man... those were truly gems from that period. In no way "filler" -- a couple of those are really strikingly gorgeous.

One thing I respect about Germany is that theyre not afraid to rebuild old historic buildings that were demolished/bombed…etc. Some peoply decry that its phony or whatever, but its not really faux-historic when youre bringing back something that used to be there. As long as the same materials are used once youre on the ground its really the same thing. I really wish in certain circumstances we had the balls to do the same in the us. Penn station should absolutely be rebuilt, but that is not even one of 10 proposals. This is another example of when this 60’s tower uses up its structural life, itd be nice to see those buildings return. That would NEVER happen here though.

Remember, there was no historic protection just yet. It's probably developments like that that directly led to the creation of the historic district.
