Melrose resident Mark Carroll is proposing to demolish the building across from City Hall to construct a four-story mixed use building with both commercial and residential space in its place.
Carroll’s hope with this new property at 12-16 Essex St. is to add to the spirit that downtown Melrose offers both its businesses and residents, while creating a new place for Melrosians to live and work.

MelroseWakefield Hospital officially began administering the COVID-19 vaccine to frontline workers working directly with COVID patients last Wednesday afternoon.
The hospital received 975 doses of the Pfizer vaccine on Dec. 15, vaccinating five frontline workers later that day. The shipment arrived at 6:30 a.m. surrounded by dry ice that kept it cold during transport until it could be loaded into an ultra-cold freezer at the hospital.
“It’s been a big week. Getting the vaccine was a really exciting moment,” Nicole Clark, director of pharmacy at the hospital, said. “The pandemic has been historic, and so has getting to see the vaccine and it’s next pieces.”
