Wow, what's the story with this? It's a lovely building, and looks as though it is currently occupied. How many floors are they adding? Is it apartments or what? This one is totally under the radar!

Too true. There was a proposal to turn this into a boutique hotel before the recession hit. It went through the Historical Commission for ground floor facade changes and everything. Unfortunately it seems to have fallen through completely. I hope they do eventually go back to that plan or a similar one.
