You know who you are.  You know what you want.  That’s why the Bryant is for you.  The Bryant is more than quality; it’s distinction.  It’s the originality of a Mark Morris ballet, the timeless appeal of a Mont Blanc Pen. It’s burnished steel, subtle textures and fresh flowers in the foyer.  It’s South End energy outside and quiet privacy within. The lifestyle it promises is both urban and urbane.  It’s no fuss…and no comprising on quality. The Bryant.  It’s exactly what you’ve been looking for.

HISTORY WITH ATTITUDE

That’s The 1850.  Old, but not quaint.  Bricks, but not bow fronts.  Take an historic South End factory.  Remove the machines, but leave in the character, and add a great big dose of clean, contemporary design.  Put it in a neighborhood that works for a living, yet lets you walk to great restaurants, transportation and leisure venues.  When you combine old Boston history with new South End energy, the results can be wonderful.   Welcome to the high-style, high-value condominiums of The 1850.

Welcome to the European luxury of Battery Wharf.

“Shibui” is the Japanese concept of simplicity and subtlety.  It is quiet.  It is understated.  And it is beautiful.  Shibui Designs Ltd. strives to bring these qualities to handcrafted dresses designed specifically to flatter the figures of women over 50.

Introduction to the Gallery Copy

Shibui styles recall the iconic classic elegance of a Grace Kelly or Ingrid Bergman.  Their simple, elegant lines lend themselves to distinctively different interpretations depending on your choice of fabric.

All dresses are fully lined and are shown in a variety of quality fabrics for day or evening, most of which can be washed by machine or hand.  You may also choose to provide your own fabric.

Whether you choose to order online or to call us for personalized service by telephone, purchasing a dress is easy.

THE BOSTON TEA PARTY DIDN’T HAPPEN HERE.   BUT IT COULD HAVE.

Because the site of The 1850 was once water, part of the old South Bay, along whose banks were built many of the wharves and warehouses that made Boston a great maritime city.  Only a narrow neck of land along what is now Washington Street separated Boston from the mainland.

The South Bay was gradually filled in during the 19th century, but the area remained a working neighborhood.  Our building, constructed between 1887 and 1889 on landfill created in 1850, has been home to a piano factory, a hardware manufacturer and warehousing companies for more than 100 years.  The 1850’s story is the stuff of which America is made—enterprise, expansion and adaptation.

The latest adaptation has now created an exciting option for those who love the honesty of industrial buildings, who want to live where the city works, and experience real city living.  George Washington didn’t sleep here, but you can.
