Boston’s Lost Landmarks: The Golden Teapot

BOSTON (CBS) –  Boston’s colorful history is the stuff of books and legends. Many of the city’s landmarks are well known. There are the stops along the Freedom Trail, Paul Revere’s house, The Old North Church, The Bunker Hill Monument and the USS Constitution, just to name a few.

But how about the spot marking the Old Howard Theater?

How about the unmarked site of Dr. Zabdiel Boylston’s home at the base of Boston City Hall? Boylston was instrumental in the development of the small pox vaccine.

Then, there is the Golden Teapot on Court Street that hangs above what is now a Starbucks. If you ask people walking under the Teapot, many are unaware of its history.
