This is actually the former site of the Old Corner Bookstore. The original 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. Later it became a bookstore and even at one time a pizza parlor. One of the locations along the Boston Freedom Trail.
