Earl of Sandwich, Boston Common - Boston, MA - Octagon Buildings on Waymarking.com

On Boston's Common, near the Parkman Bandstand, is the Earl of Sandwich shop, which is in a building that was formerly a restroom facility.

The shop is roughly in the center of the common, near a busy path crossing. The Parkman Bandstand is in view, and it is also within view of the tall soldier memorial on the top of a small hill.

The building is an octagon-shaped stone structure 660 square feet in size, and one story tall. Alternating sides are recessed. There is a door or window on sides facing the open field, and probably one in the back (didn't completely circle the building). Awnings are placed over the windows.

The Earl of Sandwich shop has occupied the building since 2011. They are a chain operation with stores in several places in the country. Originally, the building was a restroom facility but was unused from the 70s until the shop occupied it. A newspaper article had another name for the building: the 'Pink Palace.'
