Marty--I learned this morning at the Historic Preservation Commission meeting that the owner claimed he was going to buy scrolled brackets and had already sourced them. I guess he decided in the end that they cost too much.
This facade with its ugly protruding windows is an insult to Warren Street and to all the other owners who have carefully restored their facades to be in keeping with the character of the street.
Because they're cheaper than a set of beautiful ornate brackets.

ReplyDeleteEven Urban Renewal had higher aspirations.
