This year we wanted to do something different for our customers and friends. Trough this book bring her a different point of view about a Boston. The quality of the images is generally outstanding here, making Ahorn a particularly attractive site for those watching the emerging scene in contemporary photography

“Boston is a close to the old world as the new world gets, an american city that proudly trades on its colonial past, having served a crucial role in the country’s development from a few wayward pilgrims right through to the revolutionary war. It occasionally takes this bit too far - whats a faded relic anywhere else becomesa play-honored tourist site here - but none of it detracts from the city overriding historic charm nor from its present day energy.”

ACORN STREET

Located on Beacon Hill and a rich part of Boston’s historic roots, Acorn Street was established in the 1820s and is home to Mt. Vernon’s illustrious gardens. On one side of the narrow, cobblestone road lie the mystical gardens, and on the other, wellmaintained colonial homes. At one time, 19th century artisans and tradesmen inhabited these homes, which are among the most photographed treasures in Boston today. With hotels, restaurants, and shops right around the corner, it manages to feel like an escape from the bustle of the everyday. There’s only one word for Acorn Street – charming.

PARKMAN BARSTAND

Located in Boston Commons It was built in 1912 from a design by Derby, Robinson & Shephard at a cost of $1 million on the site of the Cow Pond (also known as the Horse Pond), which had been filled in 1838 after cattle-grazing had been outlawed on the Common. Named for George F. Parkman, the bandstand was constructed following his death in 1908, in honor of a $5 million donation he had willed for the care of the Boston Common and other city parks. Parkman was the son of George Parkman, a doctor who had donated land for Harvard Medical School’s first campus.

Louisburg Square is a private square located in Boston, Massachusetts that is maintained by the Louisburg Square Proprietors. While the Proprietors pay taxes to the City of Boston, the city does not own the square or its garden. It was named for the 1745 Battle of Louisbourg, in which Massachusetts militiamen led by William Pepperrell, who was made the first American baronet for his role, sacked the French Fortress of Louisbourg. The square itself is a small grassy oval surrounded by a wrought-iron fence; access is generally not available. There is a statue of Columbus at the north end and of Aristides the Just at the south end. The Greek Revival houses around the square reflect the rarefied privilege enjoyed by the 19th century upper class in Beacon Hill. One of the last private residences built on Louisburg Square was 2 Louisburg Square, built in 1847 for wealthy merchant and

philanthropist Thomas Handasyd Perkins Jr., known as “Short-Arm Tom”, who lived at 1 Joy Street. Among the famous people who lived there in the 19th Century were Atlantic Monthly editor William Dean Howells, architect Charles Bulfinch, painter John Singleton Copley, and teacher A. Bronson Alcott and his daughter, author Louisa May Alcott (who died there). Jenny Lind was married in the parlor of a house on Louisburg Square.

BEACON HILLS FAÇADES Between the red brick sidewalks, the classic Georgian architecture, and the gaslights casting their amber glow down the narrow streets, this gorgeous colonial ‘hood stands out from the rest of Beantown like a... well, like the most beautiful neighborhood in America. The row houses on Beacon Street overlook the fields of Boston Common (the oldest park in the country), and the whole neighborhood is equally beautiful in winter and summer. Hell, even the birdhouses are beautiful!

RIVER ESPLANADE This public green space, which stretches along the Charles River for three miles between the Museum of Science and the Boston University Bridge, contributes in many ways to the vitality and vibrancy of Boston. The Esplanade, like all public parks, requires ongoing care and maintenance.

The millions who watch Boston’s Fourth of July concert at the Hatch Shell, in person or on television, take for granted the terra firma of its site, the Charles River Esplanade. It seems

The fashionable riverside homes on Beacon Street (on new-filled land) were separated from all this by a narrow road, sometimes flooded at high tide.

No one waved a wand to transform that unpleasant scene into the beautiful Esplanade of today. It evolved in stages, over several decades, at great cost and effort. Four private citizens stand out for their roles in its creation: landscape architect Charles Eliot; banker James Storrow; his widow, Helen Osborne Storrow; and Eliot’s protégé, landscape architect Arthur Shurcliff.

so permanent and natural. But that three-mile stretch of parkland between the Museum of Science and the Boston University Bridge is anything but natural, and it did not exist until the 20th century. Like much of Boston, the Esplanade is made land. One hundred years ago, the Charles was still a tidal estuary, rising and falling nearly ten feet. The mudflats at low tide exposed revolting sights and smells: raw sewage, waste from factories, offal from slaughterhouses, even an occasional dead horse.

The great dome over MIT’s Barker Engineering Library in Building 10. Buildings at the MIT campus are numbered. This is essentially the center of the campus; it is often half-facetiously referred to by students as “the Centre of the Universe”. The famous infinite corridor runs under the big dome, through Lobby 10. The dome’s design was inspired by Columbia University’s Low Memorial Library dome, as well as the University of Virginia’s Rotunda. Originally, most of the space under the dome was to be a vast assembly hall; instead, this was partitioned into a lobby (Lobby 10), a lecture hall (10-250), and the Barker Engineering Library due to a lack of funds. The dome is one of the most recognizable of MIT landmarks. It is also a frequent target of ‘hacks’. Following are examples: Hackers once put a car on top of and made it look like a giant boob one other time. One recent big dome hack was when a Fire Engine was put on top of the dome to commemorate the 5th anniversary of 9/11. However, hacking the Great Dome can be difficult compared to most other locations, as there is a several-meter-high wall that must be surmounted to reach it from the surrounding roof. Of course, this is part of the allure of hacking it...
