I thought the interior was supposed to be preserved too. Weren't there some noteworthy cast-iron columns and other elements to protect?
Agreed. Seems like a lot of money for a rather small result.
Talked to a manager of the temporary Shoppers next door and they said occupancy of the new store will be sometime next year. Apparently part of the delay was because someone bought the adjacent properties along Charles St. and the builders had to apply for new permits all over again to gain access to the site from Balmuto via the parking lot behind those buildings.
