oldest commercial building in Boston! built in 1718, and once the offices of a famous publisher who worked with the likes of Hawthorne, Alcott, and Emerson

BEFORE THAT, IT WAS THE HOME OF ANNE HUTCHINSON, WHO WAS EXILED FROM MASSACHUSETTS FOR HERESY DECADES BEFORE THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS.

It also was never the home of Anne Hutchinson. It's on the site of her home, but that house burned down in 1711. The current structure was built on the same lot in 1718 and it was an apothecary shop until 1828, when it was first made a bookstore

Then in 1832 it became a publisher's office/bookstore combination, which it remained until 1997, when it became a Boston Globe memorabilia store.

Then a discount jewelry store rented it from 2005 until 2009

Then it became a showroom for crafts made by students of the North Bennet St. school, a well-known trade school here in Boston

And it became a chipotle in 2017

so no, it was not a bookstore for 200 years. On top of that, it was threatened with demolition in 1960 to build a parking garage. That's when the building was purchased by an organization called historic Boston Inc. and preserved formally. Though it would remain a bookstore until the 1990s, the preservation model was always what we call "adaptive reuse," where building stays in circulation for retail or office space or what have you while still being consciously preserved

I find this to be a really useful model especially for demographics who might find preservation a hard sell, like people in the business world. Plus, there's a very true fact that not every historical building in a city full of historical buildings can be set aside as a museum – I even really like the fact that, for many Bostonians nowadays, old buildings are NOT just something you go and visit and then leave behind. They're part of the fabric of our lives, consistently, and I think that makes them a lot more real to us
