Where Every Frame Tells a Story
At The Picture Place in Brookline Massachusetts, we believe in more than just preserving memories; we have dedicated our framing workshop to making a quality generational product for you and yours. Stop by the shop, pull up a stool, and have a conversation with Tom. In an age where salesman hullabaloo and promises of high quality internet products are the norm, Tom and his staff will sit down and talk to you about what you want. Our Brookline frame gallery is host to over 4,000 frames (yes we counted them and it’s a bit more, but we rounded).
Craftsmanship and Quality- Step inside and discover a world where craftsmanship meets creativity with an artful edge. Each frame is meticulously crafted to not only enhance your art or photograph but to also reflect your unique style and personality. Whether you're framing a cherished family photo, a diploma celebrating an achievement, or a piece of art that speaks to your soul, we have a frame that will beautifully complement it. We will see you soon!

A Legacy in Frames: The Evolution of The Picture Place
The story begins in 1967, amidst a revolution of art and culture. A visionary named A.J. Weiner laid the foundation, launching the shop as “Art Centers of New England.” In those early days, it wasn't just a store—it was a hub for a region discovering a new passion for preserving its visual history.
For thirteen years, Weiner built a reputation for excellence, but in 1980, a new chapter began. Robert Granquist took the helm, fueled by a desire to sharpen the shop’s identity. He rebranded the business as “The Picture Place,” turning it into a local landmark known for precision, craftsmanship, and the belief that every piece of art deserves its perfect match.
Robert steered the ship through thirty-four years of changing styles and technologies, ensuring the shop remained a staple of the community. Then, in 2014, the torch was passed once more. Thomas Coppi stepped in, bringing a fresh wave of energy and modern expertise to the storied workbench.
Today, The Picture Place stands as a rare breed of business: a three-generation 60 year legacy of craftsmanship where the tools have changed, but the mission remains exactly the same—honoring your memories by giving them a home that lasts a lifetime.
We’ve been framing for over 60 year combined experience. We’ve almost seen it all.
We print photo up to 44 inches wide!
