History
In 2004 Ted Farnham joined Paul and Fred as our third principal.
We have remained at our original Commercial Wharf office / showroom since 1977. Over the years we have expanded our office space and now reside at both 63 & 64 Commercial Wharf. |
Our company was founded in November 1977 by Paul Chabot and Rudy Hopfgarten at a time when Boston was beginning an urban construction Renaissance. Our involvement with the Quincy Market Project, which helped to revitalize the waterfront area, encouraged us to establish our office location on historical Commercial Wharf.
In 1991 Rudy retired and Fred Moynihan became a new Principal in the agency. During this time Boston Light Source merged with another lighting agency in Boston "Eastern Lighting Associates". We then changed our company name to "Eastern Light Source Associates (ELSA)". We continued to do business under that new name for the next six years. In 1997 we went back to the future reestablishing our name to "Boston Light Source".
