Jacob Wirth Restaurant – Stuart Street, Boston, Massachusetts

German immigrant Jacob Wirth began serving hearty food to Bostonians in 1868, and moved his restaurant to this location several years later. His family maintained the tradition, and the cuisine and atmosphere have changed. little over the years. The nineteenth century interior remains virtually intact.

Built in 1845, the buildings are the only survivors of the bow-front Greek Revival rowhouses that once dominated the area. In 1889 Wirth expanded next door, adding the storefront that unites the properties today.
