ITEMS OF INTEREST

with contributions from Bruce Nolan, Carla Hinton

THE BOSTON LANDMARKS Commission (BLC) has released a report on the Christian Science Plaza, recommending that the Plaza be designated a Boston Landmark.

Church representatives do not expect the proposed landmark designation to impede the Church's plans for its Plaza Revitalization Project. Excluded from the BLC's landmarking recommendation is the area on Belvidere and Dalton Streets behind 101 Belvidere Street (the former Colonnade building), the location for the majority of the new development being proposed by the Church. (A report on the Church's proposals will be ready next month.)

The Church appreciates the thorough steps the BLC undertook in preparing this report and looks forward to working with them to assure that future changes on the Plaza are sensitively integrated within the historic context.
