Too bad, what a mansard that was, wow.It's somewhat like what happened to the Vendome building in Boston (1872), at 162 Commonwealth Ave. It got smoothed out a little and the crown was removed or altered. Boston in general, has done a great job with building preservation. I used to walk down this street often when I was in college. Gems all around. To live on this street now is nearly impossible, or unless you have millions.
