Lowell St, former Somerville Hospital nursing dorm into 20 condos, rather sleek. The adjoining parking lot stays a parking lot.
Nice find - thx for sharing. I’ve been wondering forever if that building had good enough bones to repurpose instead of razing.Lowell St, former Somerville Hospital nursing dorm into 20 condos, rather sleek. The adjoining parking lot stays a parking lot.

just walked by it and... no. the mixed-color "brick" makes the project looks like it was built in the late '50s (and not in a cool MCM way). to whit:View attachment 17501
124 Highland Ave condos (formerly American Legion) - nice brick facade coming along. While it is an appliqué, it still looks great and definitely a step up from hardie board and the like.

Agreed....BUT: who picked out those flood lights... like really? Did we all of a sudden run out of vendors providing tasteful ornamental lighting to local municipalities? Those belong in a prison yard. Ugh.Nothing but impressed with the new HS! But particularly so with the renovation efforts of the old buildings. Such great material choices and finish qualities.

I drove by the city hall complex a few weeks ago and had no idea there was all this construction there. Surprised there hasn’t been more posting of pics. There’s been a ton of work done and it looks great.Nothing but impressed with the new HS! But particularly so with the renovation efforts of the old buildings.
