Blackstone Block Historic District
Blackstone Block Historic District, Historic district in Boston, Massachusetts
The Blackstone Block Historic District contains a collection of brick buildings bounded by Union, Hanover, Blackstone, and North Streets near Quincy Market.
The district includes the 1710s Union Oyster House, a National Historic Landmark, and the 1770s Federal-style Ebenezer Hancock House owned by John Hancock's brother.
The district preserves the original 1676 street network with narrow cobblestone roads that reflect early American urban development patterns.

A stone embedded in one of the buildings bears the inscription Boston Stone 1737, marking a central point in colonial-era Boston.
