Walking by yesterday, I heard a woman say to her friend (pointing at the empty lot), "Look, they completely gutted that building."

Yep. Down to beyond the studs.

Do we have a final word on the Ben Franklin building? It appears to me that it was not demolished, and won't be. Is that the consensus?

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion

The Ben Franklin Printer's building has been demolished. What you see is its neighbor which is beyond the limits of this project

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion

When will we see some steel start to rise?

I think this steel thing was discuss somewhere on this thread befor?

 

[porter]

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion

Is that last one intended to show the gap that this building will fill?

 

[Boston02124]

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion

yes and I'm curious if any one knows what the steel structure is?I'm thinking it's going to be a mock up for the new tower?

Re: Liberty Mutual plans major Boston expansion
