North Margin Street & Thacher Street

The intersection of North Margin and Thacher Streets sits at the edge of the historic North End, a neighborhood that has evolved through centuries of reclamation and immigration. This particular corner, situated just a short distance from the landmark Pizzeria Regina, marks part of the area that was once the margin of the colonial-era North Cove. Before nineteenth-century land-filling projects pushed the shoreline outward, these streets formed the boundary between the developed tip of the peninsula and the tidal waters of the harbor.
