Boston Sugar Refinery
The Boston Sugar Refinery was a sugar refinery based in East Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The refinery was established in 1834, and in 1860 it was credited as the first refinery to create granulated sugar. Additionally, it was the first manufacturing business in East Boston.
==History==
Since sugar refining was a specialized process, it required special machinery and skills, John Brown traveled to London and procured plans for a refinery there. Later, the eight-story brick building was built in East Boston on Lewis Street between Webster and Sumner Street on area of land purchased from the East Boston Wharf Company. Starting in 1834, it took two years to complete construction.
The main operation was initially run by a 25-horsepower steam engine, and 80 employees were employed. The refinery averaged 25,000 boxes annually. In 1846, Fisher's National Magazine and Industrial Record listed the refinery as employing 100 people refining pounds of sugar a year and using 3,000 short tons (6,000,000 pounds) of coal to do so. Sugar refining required a great amount of coal and water – coal was shipped in but, water was a consistent issue. The refinery dug many water wells throughout the neighborhood to maintain the supply that they need to continue production. By 1852, they were refining annually and an upgrade to the refinery in 1852 allowed them to increase to . They employed 200 people by 1854.
