Commercial Wharf Street
Bring a little Boston home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
Before leaving for the library or market, gather the things you want close at hand and leave a little room in the bag. 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 it ready for small purchases and books, so this particular place comes along as part of a useful bag.
