I said there was more Boston to come, and here it is. I left off at the public library, with plenty of Boston still waiting to make it onto the blog. So here’s part two—a few more places, some street scenes, and a little background along the way. Dividing the post was easy. Leaving photographs out is still a work in progress.
Boston is a city where different centuries share the street. Founded in 1630, it played a central role in the American Revolution, but much of its familiar appearance took shape during the nineteenth century, when expanding neighborhoods and ambitious landfilling projects transformed its geography—including turning the waters of Back Bay into streets lined with row houses. Today, brick buildings, old churches, and modern glass towers stand alongside one another, while people go about their everyday lives between them.
