Richardson Block, Historic commercial building in Financial District, Boston, United States.

The Richardson Block stands at 113-151 Pearl and 109-119 High Streets, featuring a marble facade and neo-Greek architectural elements across multiple connected structures.

Built in 1873 following the Great Boston Fire of 1872, the building incorporated granite and brick materials salvaged from previous structures at the location.

The structure represents the development of New England's leather industry and serves as an example of commercial architecture in Boston's Financial District.

The Richardson Block maintains its position in the National Register of Historic Places since 1986 and continues to operate as a commercial space.

The building's marble facade stands as a rare example of small-scale Neo-Grec architecture applied to a mercantile structure in nineteenth-century Boston.
