Tremont Street building could become Holocaust museum

Associated Press reports Jody Kipnis and Todd Ruderman yesterday bought 125 Tremont St., a three-story building across from Park Street, with plans to turn the building into a Holocaust museum, which would be separate from the Holocaust Memorial along Union Street near Faneuil Hall.

"Look what’s going on in Europe again," AP quoted Kipnis.

Kipnis and Ruderman founded the Holocaust Legacy Foundation in 2018, after visiting Auschwitz.

They bought 125 Tremont for $11.5 million, according to Registry of Deeds records. It currently houses a 7-Eleven on the ground floor and offices above.

My roommate is Jewish and invited me to her grandmother's house for a visit. I saw a framed saying that was discolored with age in the hallway that said "Never Again". I felt anger that it IS happening again.

I featured that building in one of my "Attention to Detail" architecture columns recently. It was the site of the first freestanding dental laboratory in the country.

"In 1887, Dr. Stowe opened a dental laboratory in Boston in which he was later joined by his cousin, Frank F. Eddy, to be known later as Stowe and Eddy-generally acknowledged to be the first commercial dental laboratory in America separate from a private dental practice."

This is a contribution to Boston that should and I hope will last in perpetuity.
