Eons World Headquarters

The company is headquartered in The Parris Building in Charlestown Navy Yard, Charlestown.

Eons, Inc.

info@eons.com 		Named to the National Registry of Historic Buildings, the Parris Building was designed by Alexander Parris and built in 1837-38. The significant classical design for industrial architecture was expressive of a grand or European image for the young U.S. Navy. Parris' last design and project for the Navy Yard was never completed, with only the first half of a great storehouse (also called Building 34) completed. The original plan included a central court after the grand storehouse in Plymouth, England. During World War II a chemical lab, blueprint lab, and photographic reproduction center were located here. With skylights, exposed brick walls, and the old iron doors between areas, the whole Eons team really appreciates the character and age of our world headquarters in the Parris Building.
