The Little Building

Dave takes interior and exterior photos of the Little Building, an Emerson dorm at Boylston and Tremont that was known as a City Under One Roof, back when it housed shops and offices:

The Little Building is significant as the theater district's best example of Modern Gothic, and as work by prominent Boston architect Clarence Blackall (1857-1942). It is also a well-preserved example of a less common building type, the office building/shopping arcade. Walter Muir Whitehill termed the Little Building "the most glamorous office building of the era of World War I."
