Enjoy stunning views of the harbor and downtown skyline as we explore the hilltop Belmont area of Jeffries Point. From Greek Revival row houses, to Victorian townhouses, to turn of the century triple-deckers, the architecture of Jeffries Point tells the story of East Boston's 19th-century transformation from a sleepy harbor island to a bustling urban neighborhood.

We'll uncover this story, and explore how the built environment of Jeffries Point reflects East Boston's 180-year history of shipbuilding, immigration, and industrialization.

This talk will focus on the significant role of architects like Bond in shaping the architectural character of Roxbury during its transformation from town to city.
An illustrated overview by architectural historian Stephen Jerome.
Also join Roxbury Historical Society on June 8 at 6:30 for the second part of this program - "Henry Hampton and Blackside".

Gigantic annual yard sale - 40 plus locations, easily walkable.
Get there - MBTA:  Red Line to Ashmont Station, exit towards Peabody Sq, left up Ashmont St to Alban St, Biking: Talbot Ave to Welles Ave and Ocean St, Driving: Park on Welles Ave and walk in, large crowds may make it tough to drive through the neighborhood.

The quiet elegance of Bunker Hill Monument and Monument Square belie the bloody events that took place there on June 17, 1775.  There are many contradictions to this battle — we celebrate a battle that we technically lost, and many forget that the battle, known as the Battle of Bunker Hill was not confined to this 4-acre square atop Breed’s Hill.
Join the Charlestown Preservation Society and National Park Service as they prepare for the commemoration of the battle. Refreshments will be served.
