Teele Sq: building with fire to be torn down

[cos]

That Teele Square fire this weekend will result in demolition of the building:

It soon spread to three other businesses: Nail Image salon, Kee Kar Lau Chinese restaurant, and Maria's Italian Cold Cuts. No one was hurt in the fire, but the single-story strip mall will have to be torn down, city spokeswoman Jacqueline Rossetti said.

That's very sad for the businesses there; I hope they are all able to survive the hiatus between now and the rebuilding. Hawk Cleaners had been there for 60 years.

That block was built by the Viano family in 1922 as part of the Teele Square Theatre; some old photos of it can be seen at the Lost Theatres of Somerville website: http://www.losttheatres.org/album.php?album=teele

How cool! Bring back the theater and the Luncheonette next to it!
