Beacon Street Houses




Yesterday I toured the Gibson House. It was one of the first houses built in the Back Bay, around 1860. The Back Bay was a marshy bog until it was filled in. It took around 40 years, but now some of the most expensive homes in Boston are there. The house is on Beacon Street, as are these other buildings. Commonwealth Avenue is parallel, two blocks over.
