A Sweet Little Garden at Warren And Smith Streets Makes Room For New Construction

Monday: Scaffold going up at 311 Warren Street / 180 Smith Street

View From Warren Street towards Smith


Tuesday: Bright red fencing hides the little garden completely

On Monday, I happened to walk by the corner of Warren and Smith Streets and saw with chagrin that construction crews were putting a scaffold around the empty corner lot at 311 Warren Street/ 180 Smith Street. There has always been a garden there with two small trees, one of them a beautiful red maple.
Today, I ventured back hoping that I had imagined the whole thing. But in the rain, the construction workers had blocked the lot from view completely, the trees and the little garden gone forever.
A five story building is coming in its place. That much I gathered from the D.o.B. web site.
Does anyone out there have more information?
