337 Thames Street guest bedroom additions

Description

Two unused conference rooms become guest bedrooms (48 to 50), with two new parking spaces backing onto Perry Mill Wharf — a practice the site has used for 40 years.

Impact summary

No exterior changes, no loss of retail space, and two more rooms for a lodging market that needs summer capacity.
