Description
Boston's Back Bay was once a marshland transformed into a premier residential and institutional hub. Over three decades, from the late 1850s to the mid-1880s, this ambitious project brought in fill by gondola cars six days a week, 24 hours a day, every 45 minutes. The result was a massive undertaking that left only a small area of the Back Bay Fens untouched. The neighborhood's transformation is captured in this photographic history, which chronicles the Back Bay from the late nineteenth century to today. Walking along Arlington, Boylston, Newbury Streets, Commonwealth, Huntington and Massachusetts Avenues, and stopping at Park Square and Copley Square, readers can gain a fascinating glimpse of the area's evolution. With contemporary photographs by Peter B. Kingman, this visually engaging book offers a unique perspective on Boston's Back Bay Through Time.
