BOSTON – A piece of Boston's Brutalist-style Government Center will fall under a plan approved Thursday for two towers on the downtown site.
A 480-foot residential building and a 528-foot office tower will replace the Government Center garage, a hulking concrete structure stretching over Congress Street that opened in 1972 and was expanded in 1990. The facility has parking for 2,310 cars.
SALEM, Mass. (AP) — A team of researchers using historical documents and 21st-century archaeological techniques has confirmed the exact site where 19 innocent people were hanged during the Salem witch trials more than three centuries ago.
The site, known as Proctor's Ledge, is a small city-owned plot of woods nestled between two residential streets and behind a Walgreens pharmacy, said Salem State University history professor Emerson "Tad" Baker, a member of the seven-person team, which announced its findings this week.
