History[edit | edit source]

During the early 18th century, the building was a small apothecary shop and residence. A few decades after the American Revolutionary War, the Old Corner Book Store became home to Ticknor and Fields, the leading American publisher at the time.^[1]

In the mid 19th century, it became the centre of American literature and thinking and served as a meeting place for authors including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Charles Dickens.^[1]
