Middlesex County Courthouse Redevelopment | 40 Thorndike St | East Cambridge

Not much left of the original facade (today, 4/14).

She is almost completely naked now. How undignified!

I wonder why they couldn't do what they did in P.O. Square?
 
Take 20x longer recladding a building than the time it would take to build a new one from scratch?
I have to believe PO Square is being slow-walked due to the pandemic suppression of office demand. The owners are saving their pennies while demand is so soft.
 
Can you picture it yet? I don't think we will see the rounded corner windows on the lower floors.
