still sad about Hotel Buckminster
...and the general slow Kendall-ization of Kenmore. Such a shame that the rents are too jacked up for the area to cater to BU students and staff.
Bu staff cannot afford it.

Blame the interstate
The part of Kenmore Square in the photo got decimated when the interstate was extended downtown and BU was mostly a commuter college. I'm not sure when the nice building on the corner got demolished and replaced with the eyesore that is the Citizen's bank. 1965?
BU didn't do away with what remained of the old Kenmore Square until the mid 1990s.
Today the rents are high because it's Boston and rents are high everywhere. I'm bummed they built offices in the square and not housing. The Buckminister would have been prefect to convert back to efficiency units as there's a real need for small apartments. Although given the weakening of demand for lab/office space, maybe there's still a chance.

had to be later than 1965
