Closed Doors

On this episode we say goodbye to spaces lost during the pandemic, as part of a new series. First, Local Switchboard’s Sarah Montague gets a tour of her old apartment building — an historic family home that’s now on the market. And host and Local Switchboard producer Jordan Gass-Poore’ spends a night in the fabled Roosevelt Hotel just before it closes, and talks to Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture writer Paul Goldberger about its past and future.
