On the eve of the 230th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, LKCo selected as GC for new Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum

Lee Lee Kennedy Co. will be performing construction of the new Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum on the Fort Point Channel at the Congress Street Bridge in Boston. The previous museum was destroyed by fire in late 2001. The new facility -- which will be built in the water on a new pier and floating barge -- will house a museum, cafe, gift shop, and a tearoom. The tearoom and café will be on the second floor above the museum. The centerpiece of the completed museum will be three working ships, replicas of the Beaver, Dartmouth, and Elinore which were the three ships docked at Griffin's Wharf on the night of the Tea Party, December 16, 1773. Lee Kennedy Co. will work with McManus Peterman Architects in a design/build manner to construct the project scheduled to start this summer.
