Yes, that's the stage. This was built for small chamber music groups or maybe even solo performers -- not large orchestras and bands.
Boutique buildings fill Boston niche with distinction

....Take the Fox Residences, a 14-unit rental building that for many years housed the Strawberries record store on Washington Street downtown. Before that it was the Art Deco design headquarters of furrier I.J. Fox. An affiliate of Hub developer Core Investments is refinishing the building’s two-story black granite exterior that’s framed by a brass ziggurat. And they have uncovered and are refinishing an interior vestibule that features a fox head in relief on bronze panels, brass moldings as well as a stylish Art Deco skylight. Upstairs are 14 two- to four-bedroom units with Brazilian cherrywood floors and Silestone counters, priced from $2,650 to $5,600 a month, many with great downtown views through large windows.
“It’s unique,” said Alicia Ingalls, a principal at Bulfinch Boston Realty. “It doesn’t feel like a vanilla box or a hotel. Boutique buildings like this feel more personable.”
Broker Ralph Aucella of Keliher Real Estate, who is handling rentals for the Fox building that opens next month, said boutique buildings are popular for other reasons, too.
“They have a little more character and a little more privacy,” Aucella said. “They’re good places to be if you don’t want a concierge in your business 24 hours a day.

That is surprisingly affordable.
For the location, that would be an acceptable trade off.
Packing your bags Westie?
Agreed. The shitty weather can't hide the fact that DTX is sparkling more than it has in a very long time.
I know it's probably come up somewhere in this thread before, but what is going in behind the Liberty Travel fence, next to the Army & Navy store? Is it really only two stories tall?
