Taking the Mystery Out of Boston History

The Cyclorama A

lthough it is now part of the thriving Boston Center for the Arts in the South End, the Cyclorama once stood on its own as one of Boston’s major attractions. The circular building on Tremont Street, added to on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, was built in 1884 to house a large-scale, in-the-round painting that depicted the Battle of Gettysburg. The realistic 50-foot-high, 400-foot-long work of art was painted by Parisian artist Paul Dominique Philippoteaux and weighed 2.9 tons. It proved so successful in drawing crowds that a competing cyclorama featuring a mural of the Battle of Bunker Hill was built nearby. Cycloramas were a brief yet popular phenomenon in the late 19th century in both the United States and Europe, and many major cities were home to at least one. The immersive experience of the one in the South End drew raves from the public and media when it first debuted. After a few years, though, interest in the Gettysburg mural waned, and, in 1889, it was replaced by a depiction of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Even that, however, failed to capture longterm interest, and the Cyclorama spent many years as a performance and sporting venue for everything from roller skating to horseback and bicycle riding. A boxing match featuring the first heavyweight champion, bare-knuckle legend and South End native John L. Sullivan, even took place there. At the turn of the 20th century, the Cyclorama was converted to an industrial space, mainly for

a series of automotive companies, including that of Albert Champion, who invented the AC spark plug at the Cyclorama in 1907. In 1923, the edifice became home to the Boston Flower Exchange, and the now-familiar skylight was added to the dome. It wasn’t until 1970 that the process began to convert the Cyclorama and the area around it into the Boston Center for the Arts, which houses a gallery, artist studios and several theaters. The Cyclorama itself has been used for public and private purposes ever since, including weddings, parties and special exhibits. In fact, the grid underneath the interior of the dome, designed by Buckminster Fuller, was installed for a Judy Chicago exhibition in 1980. In recent years, the Cyclorama has been the home of the annual Boston International Fine Art Show, which returns November 13–16. —Scott Roberto

Hubbub

Grand re-opening

On November 16, the long-awaited debut of the renovated and expanded Harvard Art Museums (refer to listing, page 28) in Cambridge finally takes place. Begun in 2010, the project combines Harvard University’s three renowned art museums—the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger and Sackler—into one facility centered around the now-glass enclosed Calderwood Courtyard (pictured). Designed by famed Italian architect Renzo Piano, the reinvigorated institution is now 40 percent larger, better to house the school’s collection of nearly 250,000 objects from ancient history up to today. To celebrate the occasion, a special exhibit—Mark Rothko’s Harvard Murals—is on display through the middle of next summer. Visitors can even check out the new Museum Shop and Cafe without paying an admission fee. And speaking of free, not only is entry on opening day free to all, but so are the next two days, November 17 and 18, for those who sign up for timed tickets at harvardartmuseums.org.

Not Toying around

Not many can claim to have turned playing with children’s toys into a career, yet artist Nathan Sawaya is one of the few (and perhaps only) people to have accomplished this feat. The toys in question are Lego plastic bricks, which Sawaya uses to craft an incredible array of works, from re-creations of famous masterpieces (including Rodin’s The Thinker, left) to original sculptures like a 20-foot long Tyrannosaurus Rex. Marvel at his inventive creations on the second floor of Quincy Market at Faneuil Hall Marketplace (refer to listing, page 26), where visitors can view the exhibit The Art of the Brick through January 11. Tickets are $15.50–23.50 and can be purchased on site, by calling 866276-9458 or by visiting bostonbricks.com.

HIt the ale trail

What Boston’s buzzing about

Panorama

The growing interest in craft beer in this country certainly hasn’t bypassed Beantown, but lovers of fresh and full-bodied brews often have to travel off the beaten path to find their favorite beverages. With the recent opening of The Tap Trailhouse (19 Union St., 617-367-0033, thetaptrailhouse.com) smack-dab in the middle of Boston’s famed Freedom Trail, however, this situation is now a thing of the past. Speaking of the past, the Colonial theme of the Trailhouse certainly fits its setting on one of Boston’s more historic streets. And the kitchen dishes out old New England favorites—fried smelts, lobster rolls and venison chili—made with a modern flair, which can be washed down with any one of 24 rotating regional beers poured from musket handletopped taps. top photo: Peter Vanderwarker

art market

For nearly two decades now, the Boston International Fine Art Show (refer to listing, page 16) has showcased a vast range of vintage and contemporary paintings, sculptures, prints and more to delighted audiences who flock to the Boston Center for the Arts’ Cyclorama building in the South End. The 18th annual edition, running November 13–16, is simply stunning, featuring nearly 40 galleries from around the U.S. as well as Canada and Europe who offer art in a variety of styles, mediums and prices. For a sneak peak, enjoy the Gala Preview on November 13 from 5:30–8:30 p.m., which boasts fine food, wine and music, and benefits The Friends of The Boston Park Rangers Mounted Unit. Other special events taking place over the course of the weekend include a New Collectors Salon on November 14 from 5–8 p.m. and a lecture on 20th century Cuban artist Wifredo Lam on November 16 at 2 p.m. —Scott Roberto

Remembering Tom Menino B

oston’s longest-serving mayor passed away recently at age 71. For a man who dismissed visionaries as ineffective in getting things done, Tom Menino both effected massive change and had a vision for Boston as big as his heart. Today’s Boston bears the marks of a man who loved the details, made sure that its citizens came first and demanded that development merge seamlessly with the city’s historic roots. Famously known as a “city mechanic,” and for having met, personally, at least half the residents of Boston, Mayor Menino was a master of local retail politics, resulting in five consecutive terms in office. His legacy is all around us. He leaves behind one of the most popular cities in the world, a city famous for education, health care, financial services and high tech innovation. As you walk

the Rose Kennedy Greenway, explore the city’s hot new “Innovation District” or the revitalized Fenway neighborhood, or even the timeless, lovely, historically preserved Beacon Hill, you’re enjoying the “vision” and the love of Tom Menino. —Tim Montgomery

The Back Bay skyline at night

Back Bay This famous neighborhood is truly the hub of the Hub

xquisite architecture and world-class retailers are plentiful in Boston’s most well-known neighborhood. The Victorian brick and brownstone residences that line the streets are not only beautiful, they’re widely regarded as the best-preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States. Newbury and Boylston streets, where luxury shops vie for space amidst outstanding restaurants, welcome visitors and residents alike. Back Bay is also home to the iconic Prudential Tower, Trinity Church, Boston Public Library, the John Hancock Tower and two sprawling shopping malls connected by a climate-controlled bridge.

Back BAy Architectural Treasures Five notable landmarks representing the best in Boston architecture

Trinity Church (206 Clarendon St., Copley Square, 617-536-0944, trinitychurchboston.org, pictured): Often hailed as the most significant building in the city, this 1877 house of worship was designed by famed architect H.H. Richardson in a style that would come to be known as “Richardsonian Romanesque.” Richardson created outstanding buildings around the U.S., but this is considered his masterpiece. Boston Public LIbrary (700 Boylston St., Copley Square, 617-536-5400, bpl.org): Two notable designers contributed to this historic edifice: Charles Follen McKim crafted the older, classical original in 1895, while modern architect Philip Johnson was responsible for the addition that debuted in 1972. John Hancock Tower (200 Clarendon St.): Situated in Copley Square along with the previous two entries, this mirrored skyscraper—the tallest in New England—was designed by I.M. Pei & Partners, the creators of the glass pyramids at the Louvre. Despite early controversy and design flaws, the building has become a beloved part of the Back Bay skyline. New Old South Church (645 Boylston St., 617-5361970, oldsouth.org): This National Historic Landmark, built in the ornate Venetian Gothic style by Charles Amos Cummings and Willard T. Sears for one of the oldest religious congregations in the country, is punctuated by a 246-foot tower and a striking copper cupola over the main sanctuary. Christian Science Plaza (Huntington Avenue, between Belvidere Street and Massachusetts Avenue, christianscience.com): Another project by I.M. Pei & Partners completed in the early 1970s, this open area, boasting a huge reflecting pool and spray fountain, unifies the many buildings on the church’s campus, including the Romanesque Original Mother Church of 1894, its 1906 extension capped by a massive Byzantine-style dome and the 1934 Christian Science Publishing House, home to the Mary Baker Eddy Library and its stained-glass Mapparium. —Scott Roberto BOSTONGUIDE.COM

Old North Church

NORTH END

Fabulous cuisine, shopping and history are abundant in Boston’s Little Italy

talian culture reigns in the North End, Boston’s oldest and busiest neighborhood. The sweet scent of fresh cannoli rises from countless Italian bakeries that populate this district’s narrow cobblestone streets, while the veritable buffet of dining choices will have you wishing there were more than three meals to enjoy in a day. Recently, clothing and home decor boutiques have been setting up shop here, making the North End an even more diverse and desirable destination. Don’t even try to find a parking space—it’s best to hop on the T or walk. If you happen to be strolling The Freedom Trail, you’ll discover three of the North End’s most important historical sites: The Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill Burying Ground and the Old North Church. Summertime brings people into the streets to celebrate various Italian feasts with music, socializing and, of course, sensational food.

North End Historic Sites Five must-see spots on and off the Freedom Trail

Paul Revere House (19 North Square, 617-5232338, paulreverehouse.org, pictured): The oldest standing residence in Boston, this historic home was built around 1680 and was home to its namesake and his family from 1770–1800. This well-preserved Colonial-era edifice is a stop on the Freedom Trail. Old NOrth Church (193 Salem St., 617-523-6676, oldnorth.org): Remember “one if by land, two if by sea” from your U.S. History class? This is the spot from where the signal was sent that alerted revolution-minded colonists of British troop movements in 1775. Officially known as Christ Church and still an active house of worship, this famed lantern-hanging site was built in 1723 and is a favorite fixture on the Freedom Trail. Copp’s Hill Burying Ground (Hull Street): Founded in 1659, this is the city’s second oldest cemetery, after fellow Freedom Trail site King’s Chapel Burying Ground (1630). Interred here are the Mather family of Puritan preachers, Edmund Hartt (builder of the USS Constitution) and Robert Newman, the man who hung the signal lanterns in the steeple of the Old North Church on the eve of the American Revolution. St. Stephen’s Church (401 Hanover St.): The only church left in Boston designed by the father of American architecture Charles Bulfinch, St. Stephen’s—originally a Congregationalist house of worship known as the New North Church when it was dedicated in 1804— is an active Catholic Church. Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, native North Ender and matriarch of the iconic political family, was baptized here in 1890. Clough House (21 Unity St.): Located next to the Old North Church, this 18th-century home today hosts Captain Jackson’s Historic Chocolate Shop, where visitors can learn how cocoa confections were made in pre-Revolution days, and the Printing Office of Edes & Gill, a replica of a Colonial Era print shop complete with historical interpreters who demonstrate how their vintage equipment was used. —Scott Roberto above photo: Della Huff

beacon hill An old-world feeling awaits you in this quaint part of the city

trolling along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not uncommon to feel as though you’ve traveled back in time. Both eminently posh and utterly accommodating, this area has borne witness to much of the city’s storied past. The State House—with its gleaming gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the district was named used to reside. In this neighborhood, visitors can also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Museum of African-American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and charming hotels. Locals descend the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street has to offer, adding to the feeling of small-town charm.
