The Boston Fish Pier is the central site for the fishing industry based in Boston, Massachusetts. Located on Northern Avenue in South Boston in Boston's Inner Harbor, the pier has played this role since its establishment in 1910. In the 1920s, it was home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the eastern United States, processing 250 million pounds of fish. The pier and its associated buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. This building is currently under consideration for Boston Landmark status by the Boston Landmarks Commission.

Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park
Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park

Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park, formerly known as the Boston Marine Industrial Park, is an industrial park which has been created on the Commonwealth Flats in South Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Before its creation, the site was used as the location for the South Boston Naval Annex, the South Boston Army Base, and was used as a general seaport district for many years. Currently, the park is in the process of being redeveloped, and utilizes many of the former military buildings. The Black Falcon Cruise Terminal is located on the site of the former Army base. Also located on the site is the extensive Coastal Cement Corporation facility, designed by HMFH Architects. Completed in 1989, the facility spans 14,000 square feet with four silos that reach 120 feet and collectively store 41,000 tons of cement. The project drew considerable attention for its unconventional architecture, which resulted in several awards including the 1990 New England Regional Council/AIA Honor Award for New Commercial Construction, the Washington Waterfront Center's national Excellence on the Waterfront Award, as well as the Excellence in Concrete Building Design Award from the Portland Cement Association & the Association of General Contractors.A structure on the north side of Black Falcon Avenue, originally constructed in 1918 as an Army warehouse, is now the Innovation and Design Building, which houses the Boston Design Center.In February 2016, the park was renamed in honor of former Boston mayor Raymond Flynn.In June 2017 at least one member of the Massachusetts Legislature (Representative Nick Collins, Democrat from South Boston) expressed a hope that a public/private partnership would enable passenger rail service to be extended along Track 61 out as far as the site.
