The corporate logo established is Boston Lighthouse, Boston Massachusetts. The first home and office of Research Performance was at Rowes Wharf, on the Boston Harbor. This was the first light house established on the North American continent, and the last in the United States to be automated. It's also our only light house that still retains an official keeper. Boston Light was partially destroyed in the Revolution and rebuilt in 1783. Boston's deep and spacious harbor led it to become the commercial center of America in colonial days.
