SoWa __NOTOC__ The SoWa district (South of Washington) is an area of Boston's South End known for its art galleries, restaurants, shops and open markets. Centered on the galleries, specialty shops and artist studios located at 450-460 Harrison Avenue, SoWa spans north-to-south from Herald Street to Massachusetts Avenue, and east-to-west from Albany Street to Shawmut Avenue. ==History== GTI Properties and owner Mario Nicosia are credited with rejuvenating the district, beginning in the early 2000s, and also for coining the SoWa name. Their redevelopment of the massive factory buildings on Harrison Avenue has since drawn high-end restaurants, art galleries, retail stores and creative businesses to the growing neighborhood. In the 19th century, SoWa's brick & beam factories were home to manufacturers of pianos, canned goods, shoes and other merchandise.〔http://www.gtiproperties.com〕 In addition, 540 Harrison Ave, a building currently used to host various markets & events, originally opened in 1891 as the Central Power Station for the West End Street Railway Company, the precursor to the MBTA. The Romanesque and Gothic Revival structure was the world’s largest electrical power station at the time and later became a trolley barn.〔http://www.bostonherald.com/business/general/view.bg?articleid=1211584〕
