Location + Leather district
Located in the Leather District’s only concierge building, the district did not exist until Boston's land-making expansions filled in the former South Cove during the 1830s, making way for the development of this area as well as Chinatown. It was at first developed as a residential area, but became the center of the city's leather industry after the Great Boston Fire of 1872, which devastated the city's business district and led to the introduction of stringent commercial fire codes. The buildings constructed in this district between the 1880s and 1920 reflect these constraints, and the needs of the leather manufacturers to efficiently use their spaces. Ground floors were designed to showcase merchandise, and the second floors housed offices. Upper floors were used for storage, the top floors being reserved for the slowest-moving merchandise.
What To Expect:
A dynamic neighborhood boasting proximity to great restaurants and downtown Boston
Once the center of Boston’s leather industry, the Leather District's 19th-century brick warehouses now hold offices and luxury lofts in a compact area between the Financial District and Chinatown. A smattering of restaurants range from a beloved 24-hour diner to upmarket places serving global fare. Artisanal coffee shops and laid-back bars cater to residents, downtown workers and South Station rail commuters.
Unexpected Appeal:
Many of the buildings were designed by architects, notably including Peabody and Stearns and Willard T. Sears, with a significant influence of the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The district is the most homogeneous 19th-century commercial district in the city, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
