Constructed: 1917 - 1918. The building opened in 1918 as the Appraisers Stores. As an official warehouse or appraisal depot for the Custom House, the building ws primarily used as storage for goods seized by Custom officers, or goods waiting inspection at the nearby Custom House. The federal building in Boston is named for Captain John Foster Williams (1743-1814), a prominent figure in U.S. naval history. Williams was born in Boston, Massachusetts and started his career at sea at the age of fifteen. During the Revolutionary War, beginning in 1776, Williams commandeered several sea vessels and established a reputation as an accomplished seaman and officer. Located at 408 Atlantic Avenue, in Boston's waterfront and Rowe's Wharf District. This eight-story building, originally known as the Appraiser's Stores, was constructed in 1917 by the government as part of a campaign to utilize the waterfront property for storage, seizure and inspection of goods destined for the nearby Customs House. The safeguarding of goods recognized the critical role of the Customs Service in generating revenue, and the need for secure, fireproof quarters to protect goods, records and receipts. As constructed the building was utilized primarily as a warehouse, with open floors finished with painted exposed brick walls.
The Williams Federal Building is designed and detailed in a stream-lined industrial manner reminiscent of early German industrial design. The building's curved southwest corner breaks from the common utilitarian box-like shape found in many warehouses. This rounded corner is typical of many steel-frame department stores and office buildings that were built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The New England Telephone and Telegraph Building rises 298 feet into the skyline of Boston's financial district. The building formerly headquartered the New England Telephone company, but is currently used by Verizon Communications. Its construction was completed in 1947 and it overlooks the Post Office Square Park to the north.

The art deco building at 185 Franklin St. is like a slice of telephone history. In an alcove off the lobby, a small exhibit open to the public gives a history of the development of the telephone. A massive mural circles the lobby, showing the history of the telephone -- from Alexander Graham Bell's invention, to operators manning manual switchboards, to linemen working on phone poles.

Former location of the Fiske Building, whose beautiful 1868 classical granite edifice was destroyed in 1964 when the owner decided to cover it with metal panels; its mansard roof was also destroyed at that time and replaced by five levels of balconies. These "renovations" were so unsuccessful that the whole building was demolished in 1989. Today the 75 State Street Building stands on the site, a beautiful art deco building with gold decoration.

At State and Congress Streets is the facade of the old Boston Stock Exchange. The original building was constructed in 1891, and a large glass tower was added behind the old structure in 1984. Retaining the facade allowed State Street to appear as it has since 1891. This example of architectural preservation was extremely innovative, and arguably spawned a successful preservation movement in many other cities in the United States.

"The magnificent Corinthian hall of the Stock Exchange (115 by 50 feet) affords very exciting scenes when the stock market is agitated. A gallery on the second floor is always open to visitors." - quoted from How To See Boston by Moses King (1895)

This site was also the location of the Bunch Of Grapes Tavern, founded in 1713, and later a popular meeting place of Sons of Liberty, and the first Masonic Lodge in the United States.
