Necco Building 1927
Which is now the home of the Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research.
Lest you forget all the goodies that were made in that building ;-)
In his book "The Boston Italians", Stephen Puleo cites historian William DeMarco that Avellinese "inhabited the Sheafe Street-Copps Hil area, as well as North Square" (pp 69-70). Which may help explain why my mother's Zia Silvia lived to the age of 99 without ever learning English while living on Sheafe Street.
