Metropolitan Storage, Cambridge, Mass
The distinctive Cambridge warehouse, as well as one of the oldest buildings in the vicinity of MIT, is the Metropolitan Storage Warehouse. Built in 1895, the five-story, 90-foot-wide brick building was extended in 1911 to a total length of 480 feet. Although constructed of brick rather than a reinforced concrete, the warehouse is fireproof, because its ceiling and roof are brick-arched.
The Storage facility has now closed and plans to convert it to provide student accommodation appear to have stalled.
