More about the book
The transformation of Boston's Back Bay from a tidal basin to a vibrant neighborhood is a remarkable tale of urban development. Following the construction of the Mill Dam post-War of 1812, the area was filled in and became the Public Garden, known for its iconic swanboats. The extensive infill project, utilizing earth from Needham, lasted nearly four decades, leading to a grid-like street layout. This grand endeavor established Back Bay as Victorian Boston's premier neighborhood, showcasing the region's most impressive architecture in religious, educational, and residential buildings.
