Boston: Liberty Hotel

Was at the Liberty Hotel in Boston recently, and got to shoot a bit of one of their Fashionably Late fashion shows that took place that night. The designer was Kara Wickman ((www.karawickman.com).

The Liberty Hotel is one of the most beautiful and unique hotels I've ever seen, because of its amazing history. It used to be the Charles Street Jail! It reopened in 2007 as a luxury hotel but has retained most of the historic structure, gorgeously. The restaurant Clink (aptly named) outlines, in granite, the shape of the original cells (grey blocks, below). Also impressive, is the cupola which, had been reduced in size, and then removed altogether in 1949, but has now been rebuilt to the original architect's design.

I remember when it became the Liberty Hotel - my siblings and I thought it was so odd that they were turning a jail into a luxury hotel....
I love your photos, especially the one of the Charles/MGH T stop!
