CHRIS’S PROJECT NOTES
The Roxbury Crossing Senior Building was the first phase of MHNHS’ plan to redevelop 2.5 acres of blighted land into a walkable, transit-oriented neighborhood center.
The area was originally demolished by the Federal Government in the 1960’s for a never-built expansion of I-95.
