The Boylston Building is an historic building at 2–22 Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts. The six-story sandstone building was designed by Carl Fehmer and built in 1887 by Woodbury & Leighton. It is an early instance in Boston of a skeleton-built commercial structure, rather than having load-bearing masonry walls. The building housed the Boylston Market, a wholesale trading exchange which had been on the site since 1810 (in a building designed by Charles Bulfinch).{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=bos.2245|title=NRHP nomination for Boylston Building|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2014-05-31}}
It was designated as Boston Landmark in 1977 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
