Description:
Beacon Hill’s Acorn Street remains one of the most photographed locations in Boston. It is paved with stones obtained from the Charles River. Often depicted on postcards, the street is described as follows “This charming, gas-lit neighborhood is a carefully preserved reminder of how Boston looked in 1850.”
From www.beaconhillonline.com Beacon Hill is a 19th-century downtown Boston residential neighborhood situated directly north of the Boston Common and the Boston Public Garden. Most people think of city living as anonymous and isolating. But this cozy enclave, filled with nearly 10,000 people, is more like a village than an anonymous city. It has a rich community life, with neighbors knowing neighbors and everyone meeting on the Hill's commercial streets and at its myriad activities. Approximately one-half mile square, Beacon Hill is bounded by Beacon Street, Bowdoin Street, Cambridge Street and Storrow Drive. It is known for its beautiful doors and door surrounds, brass door knockers, decorative iron work, brick sidewalks, perpetually-burning gas lights, flowering pear trees, window boxes, and hidden gardens. pIts architecture, mostly brick row houses, includes the Federal, Greek Revival and Victorian periods, as well as early 20th-century colonial revival homes and tenements. The architecture is protected by restrictive regulations that allow no changes to any visible part of a structure without the approval of an architectural commission. pBeacon Hill contains a South Slope, a North Slope and a Flat of the Hill. Charles Street is the neighborhood's main street and is filled with antique shops and neighborhood services. pThe Massachusetts State House is at the top of the Hill overlooking Boston Common. pThe street itself is short and quite steep, and the stones are difficult to walk upon. pHollywood superstar Denzel Washington and his “The Great Debaters” crew were seen filming on Acorn Street in Beacon Hill in August 2007.
