dd808 watched the Steaming Tea Kettle get re-installed today on its perch over what is now a Starbucks on the edge of City Hall Plaza.
The kettle - which can hold 227 gallons, 2 quarts, 1 pint, and 3 gills - was badly dented in May by a truck whose driver was heading into the neighboring Government Center T stop construction site.

Something so steeped in Boston history is back.
My question from the earlier linked post is how 8 people correctly guessed the volume of that thing. Down to the gill?
Any info? How many contestants guessed? Odd.
Glad to have it back gleaming in the sun

I was shocked that they had to spend $15,000 to repair and rejuvenate the kettle. The Globe story didn't say who paid the bill, but I appreciate that someone spent the money needed to do it right.
Before this cafe was a Starbucks

it had a second floor. Starbucks doesn't use that, so any idea what's now up there?
Based on the first photo ...
