A propos de cet article

Very good. Small chip along left edge. Expertly repaired tear in right margin. Size 12 x 15 Inches. A charming c. 1861 Louis Prang lithograph depicting the 'Old Warehouse' (more popularly known as the 'Old Feather Store', also known as the 'Old Cocked Hat') in downtown Boston, near Faneuil Hall. Built in 1680, the building was among the oldest and sturdiest in Boston until it was demolished in 1860. A Closer Look Oriented roughly towards the southeast, this view focuses on the Old Feather Store, a building constructed in 1680 in Boston's Dock Square, located near what is today 1 Union St. One side of Faneuil Hall appears at right, while Quincy Market sits behind it in the background. Other nearby clothiers are depicted, along with shoppers, traders, and playing children. At left is a horse-drawn omnibus of the Citizen's Line, an early form of public transportation. The Old Feather Store The Old Feather Store, so named because the shop on its first floor specialized in selling feathers in the early 19th century, was constructed in 1680. It was notable for its size, gables, overhangs, and distinctive exterior cement composed of gravel and shards of colored broken glass. Though its first-floor commercial space was put to various uses in the nearly two century history of the building, it generally housed some sort of clothing store. Had the building survived instead of being taken down in 1860, it would be among the oldest in Boston today (the famous 'Paul Revere House' was built the same year). Publication History and Census This view was drawn by Alfred Kemble Kipps (his name is barely legible at bottom-left) and was lithographed by Louis Prang in Boston. It is undated but was likely issued soon after the building's demolition in 1860. It is listed among the institutional holdings of the Boston Athenaeum, the American Antiquarian Society, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Huntington Library, and the Smithsonian Institution.
