Introduction
Washington Street is one of Boston oldest and most important commercial thoroughfares, a main artery since the seventeenth century that links the Downtown Crossing shopping district, the Financial District, and historic Old City Hall. The street is lined with nineteenth-century red-brick and granite mercantile buildings, modern glass towers, and century-old shops, encapsulating Boston evolution from colonial port to modern city. Along the route sit landmarks tied to the Freedom Trail such as the Old Corner Book Store site and Old South Meeting House, plus restaurants, theaters, and department stores. Strolling Washington Street offers both Boston academic and financial atmosphere and the everyday rhythm of corner cafes and street performers.
