Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Back-Bay District and the Vendome What men can do to make Nature subservient to them is well shown in the district which is to be described briefly in the following pages. Only thirty years ago this territory was in reality aback bay: in one part the boys were wont to skate and swim, in another the refuse of the city was dumped, and in still another boats and various crafts used to sail. To-day that same district is one of the grandest architectural section in the world. It is intersected by the most fashionable thorough-fares of the aristocratic Bostonians; the broad avenues, running parallel to one another, having already done much to take away Boston's past fame of being a city of crooked lanes and narrow, winding streets. It is in this district that my specimens of the best modern architecture have been erected; the latest and costliest, and in many respects the most imposing, as well as the most central of which, in the Vendome, one of the finest hotel structures in the world, and by far the grandest in New England. It is since 1850 that the tide-water has been driven back, the basin filled with clean gravel to an average depth of eighteen feet, and the greater part of the section covered with handsome private residence and imposing public edifices; all of which stand upon made-land, with their foundations resting upon thousands of piles driven deep into the ground. It was this latter fact which caused Oliver Wendell Holmes, who was consulted on the subject, to suggest to Col. Wolcott the advisability of changing the name "Vendome" to "Veneia;" for, as he writes, "I like the sound of the word; and as all this quarter is built on piles, as Venice is, it seems appropriate." According to some authorities, the original area of "Shawmut" - the Indian name of primitive Boston - was about 700 acres. If this be true, the Back-bay improvement has enlarged the city by a number of acres equal to its original area. And therefore it may be well to pause for a glance at the history of this improvement.

Download or read book Houses of Boston s Back Bay written by Bainbridge Bunting and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1967 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociologically speaking, the Back Bay is Boston's fashionable residential quarter -- or so it was until the great depression of 1929 began the gradual conversion of its aristocratic dwellings to more modest uses. Occupying about two hundred acres in the center of the greater filled region, the limits of this smaller area are the river, the Public Garden, Boylston Street, and Fenway Park. The Back Bay is interesting to Bostonian and visitor of the present day for a variety of reasons. Some will look at the area as a remarkably complete example of nineteenth century American architecture. Some people with a sociological interest will study the area's changes in property use and occupancy over the last thirty-five years and try to foresee the role the Back Bay is to play in the future development of the metropolitan center. Still others are concerned with the area as a convenient place to live or with property values and tax rates. With a precision almost unique in American history, the buildings of the Back Bay chart the course of architectural development for more than half a century. - Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Back Bay was one of Boston's premier residential neighborhoods between 1837 and 1901. From its quagmire beginnings and with the creation of the Boston Public Garden in the 1830s, the Back Bay was envisioned as an urbane and sophisticated streetscape of stone and brick row houses. The major center of the neighborhood became Art Square, now known as Copley Square, which was surrounded by Trinity Church, New Old South Church, Second Church of Boston, the Boston Public Library, and S.S. Pierce and Company. With images of swan boats and architectural delights, Boston's Back Bay in the Victorian Era illuminates a particularly vibrant period in this intriguing and relatively new neighborhood's past.
Download or read book Boston s Back Bay written by Anthony Mitchell Sammarco and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1997-10-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the largest development projects in nineteenth-century America, Boston's Back Bay was essentially a tidal basin until the construction of the Mill Dam (present-day Beacon Street) just after the War of 1812. By 1837, the area bounded by Charles, Boylston, Beacon, and Arlington Streets was filled in and laid out as the Public Garden, later the site of Boston's famous swanboats. In the late 1850s, the massive infill of the Back Bay commenced, and the earth collected from the hills of Needham was deposited in the city's "west end" for nearly four decades. As the new land began to reach Muddy River, the streets assumed a grid-like plan. The grand avenues eventually comprised Victorian Boston's premier neighborhood, and became home to the most impressive religious, educational, and residential architecture in New England.
