The Hayden Building stands at 681–683 Washington Street in Boston's Chinatown neighborhood as the last surviving commercial retail building designed by Henry Hobson Richardson. Built in 1875, this four-story brownstone structure displays the Romanesque Revival style but with notable restraint—it shows little of the ornamental detail typically associated with Richardson's work. Originally constructed as commercial retail space, the building was designated a Boston Landmark in 1977 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
