Old Corner Book Store

The original Old Corner Bookstore was built in 1712 as an apothecary, office and home of Thomas Crease, and is one of Boston's oldest surviving structures. This was the literary center of the United States during the 19th century and its publishing house actually paid royalties, then a rather new concept. The Scarlet Letter, Walden and the Atlantic Monthly were all published here.

DID YOU KNOW? The building had fallen into disrepair by the 1950s and was restored in 1960. Currently, it's the home of Ultra Diamonds.
