Leather District
The Leather District is a sub-neighborhood of Boston's Chinatown. Located between Dewey Square and Kneeland Street, the Leather District is a nine-block area noted for its 19th century low-slung Romanesque Revival buildings. The historic buildings of this neighborhood were constructed primarily during the 1880s with the leather industry's unique design requirements in mind. Therefore because the area's industry required space for display, offices and work areas; vast ground floor windows grace these buildings. Additionally the cast iron columns that these windows are set into create a unique architectural signature Boston's Leather District.
Since the 1980s the Leather District has grown as a mixed-use area, filled by a variety of commercial and residential tenants. In recent years the Leather District has emerged as a distinct Boston neighborhood for its European-style character, and its cosmopolitan savvy. Locals do not have to travel far to sample some great restaurants, cafes, nightclubs and numerous retail and commercial destinations. The Leather District, like the Financial District, is well situated to enjoy the splendor of the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway.
