Does anyone know what's going on with this building? It's across the street from the Art Institute of Boston on Beacon Street, just outside Kenmore Square. Here's the Google Map/Street View of the area:

I think it was originally built by Edison or one of the Boston utilities companies. It's a gorgeous old building with a great stone facade that's been boarded up for years, but there's been scaffolding in front of it for the past couple months. Looks like someone is doing some work on it. Not sure if this is related to the Fenway Center air-rights development over the Pike.
