The New Boston Volvo Cars
A look back at 61 N. Beacon Street's history and its current transformation
One of the rewarding aspects of creating the new Boston Volvo has been restoring a piece of local history. 61 N Beacon Street is close to 100 years old, built in the 1920s as the New England Regional Headquarters for the International Harvester Company, which built trucks and farm/heavy equipment for a growing America.
