Notes
When a few years ago the city authorities established a high-pressure pumping station at the foot of Race Street, it displaced the oldest and one of the most picturesque buildings along the water front. This ancient structure was built in 1705 and, in its time, housed many commercial concerns, the last of which was the firm of S. H. Levins Sons, dealers in salt fish. Its quaint architecture, strongly contrasting with the modern buildings around it, appealed strongly to local artists, and it has been painted, etched and sketched so many times that one more view, taken just before its destruction, can do no harm.
