The 1853 building at 117 Charles Street is completely refaced in 1961
No. 117 Charles Street was built in 1853 as a four-story building. In 1961 it was completely refaced and renovated, and the light-colored brick used around the entrance doorway contrasts sharply with the remainder of the building. The result is a lopsided front: double windows stack up on the left side, while the main doorway sits on the right below the fire escape.
