R. H. Stearns Co., Boston, Massachusetts

Though founded in 1845, the more

familiar home of R. H. Stearns on

the Boston Common was built in

1910.

The interior of the long, narrow

store was palatial in character

as befits as flush as Stearns.

The 10-story emporium graced the

corner of Tremont Street at Temple

Place across from the Common.

The tall, narrow building towered over

the green spaces of the Common.

"Conveniently Opposite Park

Street Subway Station."
