Description
Book Synopsis: Part historic treasure and part development frontier, Boston's Fort Point District evolved from a landscape of mud and sea grass into a teeming hub of commercial activity. Its proximity to Boston Harbor and its development as a rail center expanded trade for New England merchants nationally and overseas and caused an array of industries-from molasses distilling to the manufacture of razor blades-to flourish here. Through unique and vintage photographs, Boston's Fort Point District reveals the history of the district's construction, commerce, and culture. Describing its wharves, bridges, buildings, and people, author Michael J. Tyrrell traces Fort Point's development from its colonial Tea Party past to its present role as New England's largest artist community.
