Fire Destroys Historic Downtown Lobster Warehouse

An early morning fire has destroyed the historic James Hook & Co. Lobster Company, which has occupied a spot on the Boston waterfront for almost eight decades.

Flames broke out shortly after 3:00 a.m. Friday morning, and billowed over the wooden building. Emergency fire crews responding to the scene were ordered out of the Northern Avenue building for fear it would collapse.

Two hours after the first reports of the fire, the rear of the structure did fall into the harbor. Fire officials expected the rest of the building to follow suit.
