Flashback Friday

Here are three photographs of one of Boston’s oldest commercial buildings taken at different times in the last century. This building was built in the early 1700s and eventually became the headquarters of Ticknor & Fields, the publisher of the first editions of The Scarlet Letter, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Walden. But most Bostonians know and refer to this building as The Old Corner Bookstore or the Globe Corner Bookstore even though it is currently a Chipotle.
