Prince Street is a street in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It runs for around Script error: No such module "convert"., from Causeway Street and Commercial Street in the northwest to North Square at Garden Court Street in the southeast. It is one-way, southbound, except for the block between Hanover Street and Garden Court Street, which is northbound. Prince Street was originally known as Black Horse Lane.[1][2] Causeway Street, meanwhile, was formerly Endicott Street.[2]

The Boston Draft Riot of July 14, 1863, began on Prince Street.[3][4]

In the 20th century, the street became notable as the headquarters of the Angiulo brothers,[5][6] the leading Italian-American crime group in Boston from the 1960s until the mid-1980s.[7] They were based at 98 Prince Street (known as the Dog House),[8][9] at the corner of Thacher Street in Gaetano Iovanni Square (U.S. Army staff sergeant Iovanni, of 138 Prince Street, was killed in action during World War II).[10][11] The building had a real-estate agency as a front.[12] Giovanni and Cesare Angiulo, the brothers' parents, lived across the street at number 95.[13] In January 1981, FBI agents placed bugs in Angiulo headquarters for over three months and listened to their discussions about murder.[14]
