Russia Wharf
Russia Wharf was primarily used in the early 18th century until the end of the 19th century, and received its name from prosperous trade with Russia. Russia Wharf is recognized as the vicinity of the Boston Tea Party in 1773. Most of its buildings erected at the time were commercial in nature, and constructed in the Classical Revival style.
The site is currently under construction as a historic redevelopment site slated for a 31-story office tower and dozens of luxury condos. The tower will maintain its original brick base and rise above with a glass encased structure. Some proposed ground floor uses include a jazz/blues club, café, and gallery and civic space.
