Cambria Hotel | 515 Somerville Ave | Union Sq | Somerville

Sorry, didn't mean to offend. You're right. I'd rather stay near Union, for all its quirks, than Porter.

That's an interesting construction method. Haven't really seen gypsum board tacked on as the walls went on, similar to traditional stick framing and ZIP/plywood. Wonder what their reasoning is..
 
Not sure if anyone has already asked this, but does anyone know what the ruins on this site used to be?

it had been vacant for a while, but i believe bay state smelting was there before it was just a weedy/grassy lot.

Stefal -0- I agree it seems unusual
I'm guessing the motivation is that the Gypsum Board is a lot cheaper than Zip System sheathing which in turn is cheaper than Plywood
I guess it is also possible that the Fire-rating is better for a wood frame construction with Gypsum Board on the outside and inside of the studs -- although in this project the framing looks to be metal studs
