Place: Boston Globe Site
Address: 244 Washington Street
Neighborhood: Downtown
As I explored Downtown Boston on December 12, 2012, I came upon the original location of the Boston Globe. This section of Washington Street, "Newspaper Row", was home to many newspaper businesses.
To visit the Boston Globe Site, ride the Orange Line or Blue Line to State Street.
"Established in 1872 by a consortium of Boston businessmen, The Boston Globe occupied this Washington Street location, near other papers who made up the street’s "Newspaper Row." One of Boston’s original thoroughfares, Washington Street (then Cornhill) was the site of tenements as early as the 17th century, and this property passed through the hands of many prominent Bostonians including John Rowe, a merchant, smuggler and revolutionary and investor and philanthropist David Sears. The Globe moved to Dorchester in 1958, and the building was later demolished."
