The Old Corner Bookstore - Massachusetts Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

This structure, now at School and Washington, now houses the Globe Corner Bookstore. The marker reads:

"Thomas Crease built this structure as his apothecary and residence shortly after the great fier of 1711 destroyed Anne Hutchinson's house on this site. Timothy Carter opened the Old Corner Bookstore here in 1829. Between 1845 and 1865, the booksellers Ticknor and Fields established the building's lasting literary significance as the publishers of Hawthorne, Longfellow, Stowe, Emerson, Thoreau and other prominent American and British authors, who often gathered here.
"In 1960, civic leaders raised money and established Historic Boston Incorporated to acquire and preserve the site."

Visit Instructions:
When logging a Massachusetts Historic Marker, we ask that you not only describe your visit, but to upload a picture from it. The picture does not have to be of the marker - one picture of the marker is enough. But a photo of you standing next to the marker or a photograph the subject of the marker - those are examples of possible photographs to upload.
