The Glass Factory Condos - 169 Monsignor O'Brien Highway
While the name suggests that the building was used as a factory of some sort I haven’t been able to document that. Records show that the building was originally an office building built in 1925, owned by the Boston and Maine Railroad. I’d love to learn about the factory connection if anybody knows the scoop.
The Glass Factory is in East Cambridge near the Lechmere T station and very close to downtown Boston. The Cambridgeside Galleria mall, the Charles River, and the Museum of Science are nearby.

321 Harvard Street Cambridge – Stone Chapel Condos
Stone Chapel Condos at 321 Harvard St, Cambridge Mass
The condo building at 321 Harvard Street in Cambridge is often referred to as the “Stone Chapel” condos because of the eye catching church tower entry.
This was originally the site of a Unitarian church designed in 1911 by architects Newhall and Blevins, a Boston firm that designed more than 40 buildings in Cambridge including The Castle at 10 Dana Street and the Inman Square fire station.
A 1974 fire damaged the church building which was subsequently torn down, leaving only the stone tower. A 30 unit brick apartment building was then built around the stone church tower.
Today the building houses 30 one and two-bedroom condos. Cambridge real estate buyers will appreciate the modern amenities and proximity to Central Square and Harvard Square.
