About

The Distillery North building in South Boston is home to 28 unique apartment residences, a public café, street-level commercial space, and ample interior parking. It joins the original building - an old rum factory called The Distillery - built in the mid-19th century, which since 1984 has grown into a vibrant community of artists, artisans, small businesses, and galleries in a mix of live-work and non-live-work spaces currently occupied by approximately 150 working artists.
