One of the larger mercantile buildings in the Leather District of Boston is this turn-of-the-century block,historically known as the South Street Building. Bounded by three streets, this eight-story building was constructed in 1899from plansbyWinslow, Wetherill & Bigelowand is a great example of a Classical Revival style commercial block with Beaux Arts motifs to further decorate the facades. In 1901, as expected, the city directories list many leather and soft goods-related occupants in the building, including: The American Calfskin Leather Company, John F. Moore Co., leather dealer, and Charles D. French, leather remnants dealer. The building was renovated in 1990 and rebranded as Lincoln Plaza, becoming a major space for non-profit offices.
