Property Description
Located in the heart of Downtown Crossing, this 2,266 SF ground-floor retail space offers a rare opportunity to establish your business in one of Boston's most historic landmarks. Built in 1718, the Old Corner Bookstore was once home to publishers Ticknor and Fields, who introduced the world to Hawthorne, Thoreau, Stowe, and Emerson. Saved from demolition in 1960, it remains a vibrant commercial space. A designated site on the Freedom Trail, Literary Trail, & Women's Heritage Trail. This turnkey restaurant space includes a walk-in cooler, two vents with black iron roof exhaust, and updated grease trap and drains (2022). It features two single occupant restrooms, modern electrical service, and a new gas heating system (2022). With dual entrances on School Street, it enjoys exceptional foot traffic near Govt. Center, Boston Common, and Beacon Hill. Steps from all four MBTA subway lines and 1,000+ public parking spaces, this prime location blends history with unbeatable accessibility.
