1876 – 1909

Fairmont Copley Plaza was built on the original site of the Museum of Fine Arts, which was in Copley Square from 1876 until 1909 when the museum moved into its existing building on Huntington Avenue.

1910

The “E” shaped building is a city block large and strongly supported by wooden pilings driven to the depth of 70 feet below street level.

1912

A Boston icon, The Copley Plaza opened on August 19, 1912, with a grand reception hosted by Mayor John F. "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald, President Kennedy’s grandfather. Over 1,000 prominent guests attended, with rooms booked 16 months in advance.

1930

During Prohibition, the Oak Bar was known as the Merry-Go-Round Bar, a lively gathering place. Patrons celebrated the end of Prohibition in 1933 at The Copley Plaza’s famous Merry-Go-Round Bar, which featured a working merry-go-round.

Between 1939 – 1945

During World War II, the hotel’s elevator “boys” had to be over 65, so younger men were free for military service.
