Which low rise is charming? I guess the bellyq restaurant is charming in that it's old, but it doesn't really have any discernible historical features, I don't think?
Certainly the other is not going to be missed, basically just a blank brick structure.

Views and details are great, but it could definitely use some love... I would hope it would never be replaced, just updated a la Quincy brown/purple line station.
