An architectural landmark in the Old Port.

The Thompson Block hosts the newest lofts within The Docent’s Collection and features striking architectural details. Located at 121 Middle Street, this building was originally completed in 1867. Designed by Architect George M. Harding, it occupies an entire block and was built in the Second Empire style - with decorative columns, scroll-work, and cast iron and carved wood storefronts at the street level.

Learn more about the Thompson Block and browse its collection of lofts below.
