Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Boston Redevelopment Authority Government Center, Urban Renewal Project: Developer's Kit for Parcel 2h
It is further required that the developer will offer a long-term lease to the Boston College Downtown Club, at fair market terms, for a reasonable amount of space to accommodate the Club's activities, including club rooms, office and dining rooms. The restaurant will be required to provide food service to the Boston College Downtown Cflxmu It appears that in the existing building such a reasonable amount of space would be the entire building except for the space used for the restaurant. In a new building, an amount of space equivalent to that in the existing building (exclusive of restaurant space) would be reasonable. The existing building is interesting historically. Built in 1847 to house the Mayhew School of English Grammar and Writing, it is designed in the Greek Revival Style popular between c. 1825 and 1850 and characteristic of Boston Public Schools of the era. It is one of the few such schools still standing. From 1879 to 1957 the building was used by the Welfare Department as a Way farer's Lodge. Its simple classic design integrates well with the new architecture of the area and provides an interesting tie with the past.
