Boston's South End

Meer over het boek

The transformation of Boston's South End from a desolate strip known as the Neck into the largest Victorian neighborhood in the U.S. is a remarkable journey. Originally a site for a sentry post and executions, the area evolved significantly after the South Cove was filled in the 1830s, becoming a celebrated planned residential district. Its architectural heritage is showcased through distinctive features like red brick swell bay facades, intricate balusters, and whimsical porches, reflecting the neighborhood's rich history and design.
