Packard Building - View this location on map This 1910 building, designed by Alfred Kahn and built for Packard dealer Alvan T. Fuller, was the first large-scale structure on Boston's 'Automobile Row,' which eventually included a dozen dealerships. Fuller, later a Massachusetts governor, expanded the Packard Building in 1928, installing the most elaborate showroom on the Row. High ceilings, fluted columns, hanging fixtures and luxurious furnishings created elegant surroundings for shoppers. The heyday of the Row ended in the 1970s, when suburban growth and urban congestion led many dealerships out of the city. 1079-1083 Commonwealth Ave., Boston, MA Historical
