The Hood Milk Bottle stands forty feet high. Its structure is made entirely of wood and was built in 1930. It has become a defining sight along the Boston Wharf area since it's move there in 1977. At that time it was cut in half, transported by barge and reassembled.
If the bottle could contain itself, it would be able to hold 50,000 gallons of milk. Currently, it serves as a hotdog and ice cream stand.
In a minor twist of irony, the bottle stands with its back to the Fort Point Channel - docking place of a replica ship from the Boston Tea Party.
And further north it is always tea time if you are a big drinker.
