Metropolitan Storage

The Metropolitan Storage building, located at 134 Mass Ave. in Cambridge, is a prominent presence in the neighborhood. Originally constructed for industrial use, the building was recently purchased by MITIMCO and has been in the process of being rehabilitated. BET developed a comprehensive masonry restoration program for the building, including structural reconstruction of aging solid masonry walls, full scale cleaning and repointing of the brick masonry exterior, and consulting services on water infiltration issues at the basement and the roof. The project received the Preservation Award from the Cambridge Historical Society.
