Another on Elm Street is under construction. The same architects, Tuck + Tuck of Bolton, designed both. If you look at their website, the sketch on the heading is more or less what 41 Lancaster Street looks like. You can see on their site other buildings they have designed, almost all of this general type.

>> When St. Aiden?s Church, which the Kennedys attended, was closed and threatened with demolition, Town Meeting directed the Preservation Commission to initiate a study report for it as a potential single property LHD, over the vociferous objections of the diocese. Eventually the town and the diocese, both of which have strong traditions of creating affordable housing, cosponsored a friendly 40B with a very high percentage of permanently affordable housing, with the site retaining two huge copper beaches and the church, albeit as a facadectomy containing the site?s only high end units.
