Man I love these conversions. Loft apartments have to be my favorite type too.

I know what to think, and it goes something like: "Buzz. Your girlfriend. Woof!"
 
I'm glad they're repurposing the church, but, my God, it's awful.
 
Yea that thing is going to end up Internet famous for how bad it is. Also, it barely shares anything in common with the renders they have of this thing. You know, at least put windows in that front facade rather than bricking them over?

There are two former churches in Boston that got similar, but much higher quality, treatment. It’s like a weird architectural cancer, which only afflicts houses of worship.
 
Could be salvageable if the Home Depot siding is replaced with something higher quality, and windows in the front brick as originally promised
 
Drove through Lawrence today, and wow, the downtown is gentrifying quickly and looks a lot livelier than it was before Covid. Took some pictures of a few active/recent constructions. Nice to see 3 Elementary schools under construction at the same time.
