Any info on this house at the corner of Byron and Chicago Blvd in Boston-Edison? About 10 years ago a friend of mine was interested in moving to the area and we checked out a lot of B-E houses. This one always stuck with me. It was in terrible condition, open to anyone who wanted in, big holes in the floors, etc. It appears to be in better shape these days. The current owner demo'd what I thought had been a sun room on the south side of the house, but now appears on Google street view to have maybe been a garage? I swear I remember that part being surrounded by huge windows.
Here is a street view photo of the house from 2011 that shows the portion that was demolished.
I have been looking for any info on 1405 Chicago Blvd. for several years. Unfortunately the info keeps eluding me.
