During my weekend travels, I was eating at a luxurious sidewalk cafe, also
known as the Two Rivers Burrito Co., a taco joint in Westfield, MA. As I
enjoyed my gourmet meal, I looked across the street at the City Hotel.
At first glance I simply said "That's an ugly building". After a very
short time I realize why it was so visually unpleasing.
The tree partially blocks the building but if you look closely you'll see
that the third floor windows have no alignment with the second floor windows,
plus none of the windows on either floor are spaced in any kind of symmetrical
manner in relation to each other . The rectangles near the top (old windows
or vents perhaps?) also don't line up nicely with anything below them.
Aside from strange layout of the windows in relation to each other, both
set of windows are shifted to one side of building, touching the trim on
one side, with a 6'-8' gap on the other.

You should be able to walk around via this Google Map link. (the taco joint
is directly behind you)

This view, along the side of the building, shows a similar spacing issue
with the windows. I still leaning toward interior renovation with businesses
on the first floor and rooms/apartments on the top floors.

The only info I can find is related to the bar on the first floor. I'm
betting on low rent apartments upstairs. The city of Westfield seems to be
a mix of very nice businesses and homes alongside very run down businesses
and homes.
Yeah, I took a look at that and also did what I should have done before
opining the three building routine. I took a close look at the overhead
satellite view of the building. Appears to be just the one building.
Also was able to grab an oblique view of the back in "bird's eye view"
I think that we can safely assuming it is one f**king ugly building and
that's about all.
