Fort Point Channel is a historic district that was owned and maintained by the Boston Wharf Company. Most of the buildings had manufacturing or storage units that manufactured and stored goods of the Boston Wharf Company. Over the period of time, industrial changes took place and eventually the area was abandoned. Artists and creative groups started using these empty lofts as art units. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and now the district featuring various landmarks, restaurants, art galleries and other establishments.
