The South End

The South End is composed mostly of mid-nineteenth century bowfronts -- aesthetically uniform rows of five-story, predominantly red-brick structures, of mixed residential and commercial uses. The neighborhood was constructed atop landfill, reclaimed during the filling of Boston's marshy Back Bay (north and west of Washington Street) and South Bay (south and east of Washington Street), from the 1830s to the 1870s. Today, the South End is listed on the United States' National Registry of Historic Places. It is the nation's largest Victorian architectural district. The South End is noted for its extensive collection of restaurants; Tremont Street is often called "Restaurant Row."

I really liked how you captured the life of the buldings in all of your pictures, and i love how the pictures go from a calm quiet neighberhood to the noisy city I think these photographs are amazing and they inspire me to continue photography. They show me how much beauty the camera can catch with one click of a button!

Another stunning gallery, Della! I really knew nothing of Boston until I came across your galleries. I love the architecture and the subtle use of pumpkins in these pictures.
