The Berger Factory, located at 37 Williams Street in Boston, Massachusetts, is a historic building that was home to one of the nation's first manufacturers of precision engineering and surveying instruments. Built in 1902, it is a surviving example of Roxbury's late 19th-century industrial development and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Founded in 1871 by German immigrant Christian Berger, the Berger Company was a pioneer in precision engineering equipment manufacturing in the United States. Their instruments were utilized in significant projects such as the surveys for the Panama Canal, construction of New York City skyscrapers, and American polar expeditions led by Admiral Richard E. Byrd and Robert Peary.
