The Winthrop Building is an historic steel frame skyscraper at 7 Water Street (intersection with Washington Street) in Boston, Massachusetts.
The early skyscraper was built in 1894 on the site of Puritan Governor John Winthrop's second house (mansion house) in downtown Boston. Known as the Carter Building before 1899, it is the first skyscraper in the city to have been built with a steel frame.[1] Famous tenants have included Landscape Architect Fletcher Steele in the 1920s.[3]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[2]
