Commercial Wharf from Pier 3
Bring a little Boston home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
Between checking a list and leaving the kitchen, there is a moment to look at the small picture on the fridge. The stone edge, basin and wharf buildings lead toward Commercial Wharf from Pier 3, giving Boston's harborfront a particular viewpoint across the water.
The 1973 source records stone edge, harbor basin and wharf buildings, location given by photographer. 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 pier viewpoint connects Commercial Wharf's buildings with their harbor basin, keeping the water-facing relationship within Boston's changing waterfront record. Put it near a message you will check later, so the little view is there when you return to the kitchen.
