State Street Block (Boston)

State Street Block (built 1857) is a granite building near the waterfront in the Financial District of Boston, Massachusetts.〔Boston Directory. 1858〕 Architect Gridley James Fox Bryant designed it. In the 1850s "the Long and Central Wharf Corporation ... sold each bay to individual owners, requiring that 'the granite to be used for the sidewalk & facade of each bay must be purchased from the Corporation & erected according to the architect's plan.'"〔Boston Landmarks Inventory File, quoted in: Mary Melvin Petronella, Edward W. Gordon. Victorian Boston today: twelve walking tours. UPNE, 2004; p.10.〕
Walt Whitman visited Boston in 1860, and wrote about what he saw: "Noblest of all State Street Block, east of the Custom House, rough granite. The above probably one of the finest pieces of com() architecture in the world."〔Clifton Joseph Furness and Walt Whitman. Walt Whitman Looks at Boston. New England Quarterly, Vol. 1, No. 3 (Jul., 1928), p.357.〕 Another visitor travelling through Boston (in 1859) called it "a magnificent block."〔Charles Edward Bolton and Charles K. Bolton. A Journey to Maine in 1859. A Diary of Charles Edward Bolton. New England Quarterly, Vol. 9, No. 1 (Mar., 1936), p.121.〕
In the mid-20th century, "nearly three-quarters of the original 22-bay building ... was amputated for construction of the Central Artery ... and the roofline of the remainder has been destroyed."〔Petronella and Gordon. 2004; p.10.〕
