The brick facade of the former Marquis Leathers building features heavy stone lintels and a cast iron storefront that marks it as a relic of Boston’s nineteenth century tanning industry. During the eighteen nineties, this block functioned as the bustling heart of the global leather trade. Merchants packed these floors with hides brought in from across the Atlantic, turning the surrounding streets into a dense warehouse district. Today, the building serves as a quiet reminder of that era’s massive industrial output.
