493-495-497 Commonwealth Avenue - Boston, MA - Flatirons on Waymarking.com

In the Kenmore Square section of Boston, where Commonwealth Avenue crosses Beacon Street, is a triangular building with rounded, turret-like features. The building stands four stories tall, with the fourth floor within the roof. Iron structures span between windows, which don't quite look like porches. The parcel is about 6,100 square feet, and the living space is about 20,000 square feet.

The building is currently empty, but through the windows, it can be seen that the building is undergoing construction within. There are at least three units to the building.

From 1921 to 2005, the building housed the J. S. Waterman Funeral Directors. In 2005, J. S. Waterman closed this location and merged operations with the Langone Funeral Home in Boston's North End. An investment group bought the property for about $5.6 million in 2008 and will transform the property into seven condominium units.
