Why Live in Bleachery

Before the Bleachery neighborhood was a hotspot for young Boston professionals and history buffs, it was a trend-setting destination during the American Industrial Revolution. The Boston Manufacturing Company became the first textile mill to turn raw cotton into yarn-finished textiles, and one of its subsidiary businesses was the Bleachery — the neighborhood’s namesake.   Gary Rogers is the broker owner of Re/Max On The Charles who grew up in the area and knows the history and market intimately. “The Boston Manufacturing Company owned swaths of land, and the mill built housing for the workers, which were multifamily buildings. Much of it was in the Chemistry and Bleachery areas." Irish, Italian and Canadian immigrants flocked to the area, and Rogers says their influence is still seen today. “I've sold homes that still have homemade wine presses in the basement and grape arbors in the back,” Rogers says. Thanks to the mill’s booming success in the 1800s, Bleachery is now a blend of history and modern living with easy access to jobs in Boston. Homes here are a mix of condos, townhouses and multifamily properties. “The homes are older, so there’s a lot of infill development,” Rogers
