The bellhop in hazmat suit will take you to your lab

The Hotel Buckminster (built in 1897), at Boston’s Kenmore Square, in about 1900; space for the future Fenway Park is at left. The shuttered hotel will reportedly be bought for $42.5 million by development company IQHQ and turned into — what else these days in Boston and Cambridge!? —biotech lab space.

The hotel was where the plot to fix the 1919 World Series was allegedly launched.
