Grime obscuring its salmon-colored sandstone, the Hayden Building at 681-683 Washington St. remained a fivestoried thing of beauty. At once slender and substantial, its design suggested Henry Hobson Richardson - the best-known American architect of his day and the most celebrated in Boston’s history. But Zaitzevsky knew Richardson’s works had been catalogued, and this wasn’t one of them.

Always great to hear about a building being saved. Now, how about the Dainty Dot building (Kingston / Essex Streets) whose design reflects the work of HHRichardson? Too late?
