Commercial Wharf Street
Bring a little Boston home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
A desk holds the things you need for work; there can be room for a local picture beside them too. Partly renovated warehouse frontage meets Atlantic Avenue at Commercial Wharf Street, with the building's changing use visible in this Boston waterfront view.
The source records Partially renovated warehouse frontage in May 1973, documenting waterfront conversion. The view preserves a particular relationship between Boston Harbor and its shore. Water, buildings and routes form a record of local maritime life at the time of the source.
The frontage connects older warehouse fabric with waterfront conversion, keeping a particular stage of Commercial Wharf's change alongside the harbor's longer working history. Keep the plaque on the desk where its picture can be noticed between a page of work and the next task.
