While Faneuil Hall Marketplace has been a part of Boston's history for nearly two centuries, it was architect Benjamin Thompson who came up with the plan to revitalize it. The project became a model of adaptive historic rehabilitation and was just one of several “festival marketplaces” Thompson designed throughout the nation. Thompson was awarded the AIA’s Gold Medal in 1992.
