Family-owned for nearly four decades, the Distillery in South Boston is one of the city's cornerstone artist live/work communities. Built in the 1860's as a rum distillery, the site now provides work and residential spaces for over 100 artists, craftspeople, and creative professionals. The on-site Distillery Gallery showcases rotating curations of artists from within the Distillery and beyond. (https://distillerygallery.squarespace.com) The Distillery adjoins the Distillery North, a newly constructed Passive House development that is recognized as one of the city's greenest and most energy efficient multifamily apartment buildings. (https://www.distillerynorth.com) The two buildings are situated around a public grass courtyard and an on-site family-owned diner (https://www.mydinerboston.com). The property is walking distance to a swimmable beach (Pleasure Bay and Castle Island), the Boston Seaport District, restaurants, museums, art venues, and bars, and is a 10 minute drive to Logan.
