Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 6744 



on site and two structures existed on the 

 site. There was a 5 story, 60 foot high, 

 brick grist mill on the upland area and a 

 two story, twenty four foot high, brick 

 warehouse on the pier. (See Exhibit 4) 



With the advent of artificial ice making 

 machines in the latter part of the 

 century, the ice business melted away. In 

 1901, the Tudor Wharf Company (so called 

 after the wharf, not the former owner) , 

 purchased the site for general mercantile 

 storage. In 1902, the Potter- 

 Wright ington. Inc. cereal department and 

 offices were located in the former grist 

 mill. 



In 1912, the Charlestown bridge was 

 constructed on its present location and 

 the Charles River Avenue bridge removed. 



The cereal business remained until 1937. 

 From 1930 to 1937, the Boston Globe 

 leased space for paper storage. In 1937, 

 the two brick structures were demolished 

 and a woodframed warehouse structure 

 (still standing) was constructed on the 

 existing pier structure. Between 1932 

 and 1941, Jason O'Connor operated a 

 livery boat service out of the east side 

 of the pier.
