"Coca-Cola Loft"

See the before and after photos.

128-132 Bucknam Street is a small commercial building of approximately 60'x40' on a 2,840 s.f. lot. The building sits on the corner in a residential neighborhood in Everett, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. It began it's life at the turn of the 20th century as three storefronts, which housed various tenants throughout the years such as a corner store (thus the Coca-Cola painting), tailor, local library branch, etc. A local upholstery company, McLoughlin, later bought the building. The building was purchased from McLoughlin by BEXT in 2001 and partially rezoned. BEXT worked with Eric Nelson Architects on the project. The residential side later became known as the "Coca-Cola loft" by Boston-Area real estate agents. BEXT was somewhat of a trailblazer, as no lofts existed in Everett at the time. The old Charleston Chew candy bar factory in Everett was converted into lofts soon afterwards. Today 132 Bucknam Street is https://www.artlabeverett.org/ and 128 Bucknam Street is a salon.
