There was a church here previously burned in a fire. The ornamental window in the new building was saved from the church. Decent enough but the roof line is overdone and a lot heavier looking than it needs to be. Landscaping will help a lot.

I walk by that beige/green disaster every day. The colors are even worse in person.

Apparently, the old Checker Cab garage on Fulkerson was permitted for 40 residential units in 2016. However, the developer sold out to Eversource in 2017 for $13 million. It’s now the location for a proposed substation.

That's a freaking travesty. There is a school and a park right there!

I recognize that infrastructure has to go somewhere, but that is a real waste of park-fronting property.

You should see what Eversource wants to do in East Boston, adjacent to a park, playground, and in a flood zone.

I would rather see facadism viciously implemented here: let's rip out that building and set up a movie-set preservation of the walls embedded in a pastiche of mixed medium schlock. Can we even get Kairos Shen on this project as a consultant?

I'm curious, say more about this? You hate the glass addition, you hate the glass bumpout on the side, or you just hate the whole concept of this proposal? Maybe I'm missing something, is this a historical brick building that should remain untouched?
