Historic Boston Building Acquired for $21.755 Million

Fidelity Investments has acquired The Winthrop Building located in Boston's Financial District for $21.755 million. 

The Winthrop Building is a 45,891 square foot historic skyscraper at 7 Water Street (intersection with Washington Street). The nine-story brick and terracotta building was designed by Clarence H. Blackall in the Renaissance Revival style and has the distinction of being the first skyscraper in the city to have been constructed with a steel frame.

Completed in 1894, it was originally known as the Carter Building but was renamed the Winthrop Building in 1899 after the Puritan Governor John Winthrop, whose second house was located adjacent to the site. Prominent past tenants include Landscape Architect Fletcher Steele in the 1920s and the Boston offices of the Associated Press.
