MIT Destroying historical storage building which it promised to save.

Report from Robert J. La Trémouille

IN PROCESS NOW.

The historical WAREHOUSE storage building now owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and located on Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge between Vassar Street and the Grand Junction Railroad Tracts WHICH HAS BEEN PROMISED TO BE SAVED BY MIT is in the process of demolition.

This was observed by me about 1:30 pm, October 12, 2023 from the #1 bus traveling toward Boston.

Demolition is ongoing on the top floors facing the Grand Junction railroad.

SUPPLEMENT:   This post is getting a lot of hits.  The follow up post with photos is getting less.  Please see https://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2023/10/mits-renovation-of-historical-warehouse.html for gory details.  I have a lot of photos, but it is also a lot of work.  This may wind up as the DEFINITIVE post.
