The best-laid plans...

There is a nice "new" site plan for the 305 Dutton property that includes a drastically different plan for the parking lot. There would be parking along the long side of the building and then two more rows of parking. There would also be an opening into the American Textile History Museum / Lowell Sun parking lot. It also confirms my earlier suspicion that Worthen Street formerly ran through the existing parking lot and behind the Sun building, probably going through to Fletcher Street. Unfortunately, there's always a ridiculously sad, head-shaking aspect to any positive thing about this apartment building. The site plan dates to 2004. That just goes to show that there is a great deal of talk, but very little follow-through for this property. As with everything, particularly in terms of marketing statements, let the buyer beware.
