The latest artifact to grace HBI’s office happens to be wrapped right around the Old Corner Bookstore Complex– a spectacular interpretive scrim that not only conceals scaffolding, but shares over 300 years of site history with passersby!

3D model of the 1718-1828 Old Corner Bookstore Complex in downtown Boston, stacked on a series of books for scale that were published here from 1832-1864 when Ticknor & Fields occupied the site and gave this historic commercial building its name.

Today we’re showcasing a wood frame that has sat in HBI’s offices since our 2014 rehabilitation of the 1834 Alvah Kittredge House in #Roxbury. Dug out from the historic home’s cupola, this frame could have been sourced from Alvah Kittredge’s 19th c. furniture company!
