Boston Fish Pier is dedicated.

Architect: Henry Keyes. And Monks & Johnson. Originally Commonwealth Pier 6, then the New England Fish Pier, it is built by the Massachusetts Board of Harbor and Land Commissioners and located at today’s 234 Northern Avenue. The 1,200 foot-long, 300 foot-wide pier includes two rows of warehouses flanked by an central administration building designed in the Greco-Roman style and is the largest and most technologically-advanced fish distribution facility in the world. The Boston Fish Pier, originally located on Long Wharf, then Commercial Wharf, then T Wharf in 1884, moves here in 1915. By the 1930s, three-quarters of the fish caught in New England are processed here, and the wharf helps make Boston the largest fishing port in the U.S. The pier is purchased by the Massachusetts Port Authority in 1972 and renovated by Samuel Mintz & Associates in 1985. The administration building is converted to the Fish Exchange Conference Center in 1995.
