Cornhill, Pedestrian zone in downtown Boston, United States.
The pedestrian area extends along the edge of City Hall Plaza, featuring commercial establishments and historical architecture from different periods.
Originally laid out in 1708 and named Market Street until 1829, this former center of literary activity connected Water Street to Dock Square.
During the 19th century, the street contained numerous bookstores and publishing houses, including the location where Uncle Tom's Cabin was first published.
The area maintains direct access to Government Center and provides connections to multiple public transportation options in downtown Boston.
Two original structures, the Sears Block and Sears Crescent from 1848, remain as testimonials of the street's commercial heritage.
