British Consulate General - Boston, MA - Diplomatic Missions on Waymarking.com

"On 28 June 1817, Britain opened a Consulate in Boston, to take care of British interests in New England. The first British Consul was George Manners, who held office from 1817 to 1839. In 1904, the Post was upgraded to a full Consulate General, and in 2000 it took on responsibility for the state of Connecticut (except Fairfield County), alongside the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Shortly before the 185th anniversary of the opening of the British Consulate, His Royal Highness, The Duke of York, opened our new offices on 8th May 2002 in its current location, namely Cambridge, Massachusetts. This move - as well as the addition of a Life Sciences business team (2000) and a Science and Innovation team (2001) - marked a shift to focus on greater Boston as a 'hub' of innovation and technology. The Acting Governor, Jane Swift, took the opportunity to recognise Britain and America's special relationship, and the now welcome presence of the British back in Massachusetts.

Consulate locations
Before moving to Cambridge, the British Consulate-General was located in the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (1990 to 2002), and before that on the 47th floor of the Prudential Tower. Since 1920, the Consulate has occupied a variety of buildings on Atlantic Avenue, 140 or 148 State Street, 10 Post Office Square, and two locations in the Hancock Building. Earlier office locations are not recorded."
