building 19

     

Builing #19 is a chain of discount stores in New England. The main Building #19 store is located in Weymouth, Massachusetts; other stores have a fraction appended to their name (such as Building 19½, in Burlington or Building #19¾, in Norwood). The original Building #19 was located at the former naval shipyard in Hingham, MA, where the buildings were numbered, and the store retained the nondescript name on the building rather than pay for a new sign. In the 1980s, the original Building #19 moved to the Harborlight Mall in adjacent Weymouth. From Harborlight they moved back to Hingham, to the former GEM (Government Employee Merchandise) building on Derby Street. The main store is currently situated back in Weymouth at the old Caldor/Zayre's/Ames building on Route 18.
