Converted in 2003, 26 Stillman is made up of 28 residences set in the former Waitt and Bond Cigar Factory. Residents enjoy a large common roof deck with panoramic city views and are a quick walk to major transportation points, the Greenway, Fanueil Hall and everything the North End has to offer!

26 Stillman St was originally built as the home of the Waitt & Bond Cigar Factory in the late 1890’s.  After serving as such through the 1910s, the building was later taken over by the Castignetti family who ran Castignetti Bros Tuxedo on the first floor and rented the five upper floors primarily as artists studios.  Unit 1-3 is the site of the original Castignetti Bros Tuxedo shop.  After a long tenure as artist’s space, 26 Stillman St was converted into condos in 2003.  Many of the original features from the building’s storied past still exist throughout the inside and outside of the property as seen in the exposed brick and wood and steel beaming throughout.

The Neighborhood

A highly desirable residential neighborhood for professionals who work nearby, the North End is also a major attraction for tourists and Bostonians alike, who come experience the neighborhood’s unique “Little Italy” feel and to take in over 350 years of rich Boston history.  A walk on Boston’s Freedom Trail will take you past sites like the 1680 Paul Revere House, the Old North Church (famous for its “one if by land, two if by sea” lanterns) and Copp’s Hill Burying Ground (the final resting place of some of the North End’s first residents).  Italian restaurants, coffeehouses, pastry shops, markets, delis and small businesses pack the area, especially on lively Hanover and Salem Streets.

Residents of the North End enjoy direct access to Boston’s waterfront and HarborWalk, and wide array of public green spaces (including two recently renovated dog parks, bocce courts, an indoor ice skating rink and even a public pool on the waterfront!). And its a breeze to get around, with three T stations on your doorstep and South Station, the Financial District and Boston Common all within a 15 minute walk!
