The two eleven-story buildings, originally called the Ditson and Chandler Buildings, hold a significant place in Boston’s history.

The Chandler Company also operated an enormous dry goods store on the location, and was legendary for selling the first ready-made dress in Boston in the beginning of the Nineteenth Century.
