St. Clair Street, Old South End

There are several decent business buildings near SS Peter and Paul Church.
Unfortunately, in our brave new business climate, they need a different use. The one on top is some sort of church and the one on the bottom looks is being used, but I have no idea for what purpose.
Broadway, in this area, is doing surprisingly well. Much better than most of the older neighborhood business districts. You'll hear the "glass half empty" crowd lamenting, but there really aren't many empty storefronts. Take a close look. Most people who indulge in drive-by snottiness don't.

Could the top photo be the old Swiss Club? I can see one tower of IC in the background, which would make the position about right.

I don't know, but that one's directly across the street from SS Peter and Paul.

Then I'm pretty sure that's what it used to be - was still the Swiss Club as recently as the early 80's. And of course, there were other buildings around it.
