There goes the neighborhood

How dramatically a change of scenery can alter the character of its foreground. Such is the fate of this Georgian Revival building in Watertown, Mass., built in the 1920s as the office of masonry contractor T. Stuart & Son, handily backdropped by lowly stone/brick yards, until...

...they gave way to high-end residential development that totally changes the building's visual context, most notably by giving it the high-end luxury condos and apartments it had happily lived without for a century, keeping the town affordable, until now. There goes the neighborhood!
