It’s an utterly typical configuration for thousands of Boston apartments built in the early 1900’s: A long narrow hallway whisks past a bedroom to the back of the apartment where there is a narrow galley kitchen adjacent to a living room. In most cases, the living room and kitchen are completely separated by a floor-to-ceiling [...]
