Austin Block - View this location on map Middlesex Country Sheriff Nathaniel Austin built this commercial block in 1822 using stone from Outer Brewster Island, which he owned. Among the businesses since located here was the 'Bunker Hill Aurora,' Charlestown's first newspaper. With the Austin Block on the verge of collapse in 1980, Historic Boston Incorporated rehabilitated the structure, harvesting stone from Austin's quarry to restore the first floor. 92 Main St., Boston, MA Historical
