The Globe reports on plans by Gate of Heaven Church and the Archdiocese of Boston to turn the old Gate of Heaven school into rubble after several years of church officials failing to convince neighbors to let them sell the building to housing developers.
The BRA today unanimously approved a developer's plan to turn the old Gate of Heaven school at 609 E. 4 St. into 26 condos - half of them units spanning two stories.
Unusual for a project in a dense neighborhood, the project would have more parking spaces than units - 40.
The proposal had been opposed by neighbors fed up with the condoization of the neighborhood, who argued the building should be sold to somebody willing to turn it back into a school.
