When I had the store on Merrimack Street downtown I asked Steve the property manager for the Bon Marche building about the rock. He took me downstairs and part of it was still sticking out of the wall (it was not as exposed as it used to be when they had “the rock bottom basement”) but yes it is still there.

Does anyone know if the “rock” is still there?

I remember Mrs Conlin in the boys department at the Rock bottom basement at Bon Marche over sixty years ago.
