Place: Boston Fish Pier - Commonwealth Pier #6
Address: 212 Northern Avenue
Neighborhood: South Boston
On September 18, 2012, I visited the Boston Fish Pier by riding the Silver Line Waterfront bus route to World Trade Center. Other bus routes you can take to visit the Boston Fish Pier are the 4, 7, 448, 449 and 459.
"The Boston Fish Pier was built in 1912 to accommodate the city's growing nationally recognized seafood industry. The 44 wholesale fish stores comprised the world's largest fish market in 1926, and more than 250 million pounds of fish were distributed from the Pier. Designed by Henry Keyes, the Pier's eclectic, Greco-Roman style architecture includes two identical buildings spanning the Pier's length, used for stores and processing houses. The central administration building, notable for bas-relief images of Neptune and the sea, housed the Boston Fish Market Association and the New England Fish Exchange."
