Wicked Local
Purchased last year for nearly $3 million and situated in the heart of Brookline Village, 370 Washington St. seems prime fodder for a developer looking to turn a profit.
But the building s owners are in no rush, planning to raze the building and leave a grass lot as a placeholder.

Soon, the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals will decide the building’s fate.
