Commonwealth Pier: 1913
Circa 1913. "Commonwealth Pier No. 5, South Boston, Massachusetts." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
Stand your ground
Despite the rest of the area being demolished and rebuilt with faceless towers and renaming Boston Harbor's fish pier the "Seaport District" where the sea is far away from the harbor. Commonwealth Pier still stands surrounded by nouveau riche mundane squatty towers pretending to be on a seaport. Rare is the sight of a boat, let alone a ship.
New name, same face
Still a productive -- and proper! -- Bostonian. But just as is the case with many of us, a facelift was in order.
