This is the Hallet and Davis building at 151 Hallet street. The building was vacated by Hallet and Davis in 1929. Keystone moved into the building in 1942.

Hello Derrick!
I am a student filmmaker, and am working on filming a short documentary this month, (May 2025), for a class project. My doc is about my grandfather’s Keystone Movie Camera, built at the Keystone Manufacturing building in Boston, MA in the 1940s. I would love to use your image of the old Keystone building in my film, if that’s possible. The building still stands, and is now an apartment complex for seniors. I appreciate your help, thanks!
Hello Deborah,
Go ahead and use the photo. The photo is from circa 1930 before it was the Keystone factory. At that point it was a piano factory. I have never found a picture when the building belonged to Keystone.
