BOSTON'S SOUTH END BOOK, VICTORIAN NEIGHBOURHOOD PHOTOS

IMAGES OF AMERICA ~BOSTON'S SOUTH END

By Anthony Mitchell Sammarco

The South End of Bostin is today the largest Victorian neighborhood in the United States. Originally a barren strip of land known as the "Neck", it amounted to no more than 100 feet in width as its narrowest point. The grounds served as both an execution site and a sentry post one had to pass to enter the Boston area.

Boston's population continued to expand through matriculation and immigration in the 1830s and 1840s. By the 1830s, the South Cove was infilled and made way for one of the greatest planned residential districts of the time. Boston's South End captures the essence of the South Bay area in over two hundred photographs, exploring the residential architecture unique to the area - red brick swell bay facades, elaborate bausteres, and fanciful porches. This book also vividly illustrates great cathedrals such as the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and the Church of the Immaculate Conception.

Local Historian Anthony Mitchell Sammarco has chronicled the history of Boston in a series of Images of America publications, including Boston's North End, Boston's Back Bay and Trolleys Under the Hub. In recreating the past, his efforts prove both informative and entertaining for residents and visitors alike.
