On a related note, what’s the story with the abandoned house caddy corner from this development at 120 Portland St? It’s in ROUGH shape and has been for a while. I was driving down that street last night and I’m pretty sure squatters live there since I saw one laying out on the stoop.
I believe it used to be a restaurant back in the 70s/80s.
EDIT: Oh wow, I just read this on the Wikipedia page for none other than Joseph Finger:
”On 6 February 1953, a month short of his 66th birthday, Finger died at his home at 120 Portland Street.”
