What's the story behind this last one? I used to live nearby and never understood what was up there.

It's been a one-story annex to 397-399 Commonwealth ever since the property was built in 1925. In 1988 the Frederick Ayer Mansion next door built out a chapel expansion that extended onto the lot - both properties were owned by the Trimount Foundation at that time. In 2021 the two buildings were sold to the current ownership, which is now seeking to renovate both.
