PUBLIC GARDENS, BOSTON circa
1910 Meeting friends and
promenading on the bridge was a favorite Sunday afternoon pastime
at the Public Gardens.

Boats. Winner:

SWANBOAT, BOSTON PUBLIC GARDENS circa
1910 Who could resist a
leisurely ride on a Swan boat on a warm sunny afternoon while Dad
relaxed on a park bench and waited on shore? Then the family would
all enjoy a walk through the park and view the magnificent
plantings. |

UNION OYSTER HOUSE, BOSTONThe Union Oyster House is the oldest restaurant in Boston and the
oldest restaurant in continuous service in the U.S. — the doors
have always been open to diners since 1826. The precise date of construction
is unknown, all that is known is that the building has stood on
Union Street as a major local landmark for more than 250
years. It was at the
Oyster Bar that Daniel Webster, a constant customer, daily drank
his tall tumbler of brandy and water with each half-dozen oysters,
seldom having less than six plates. Winner: Honorable Mention, Quincy Art Association,
September 1999 |
BEACON HILL
ROW Beacon Hill is a
fascinating, early 19th century neighborhood with narrow
streets. The row houses are nearly all in brick in Federal,
Victorian and Georgian styles. This National Historic
District is exceptionally well-preserved, with well maintained
houses, low-traffic streets paved with cobblestones and gas-lit
street lighting. An ideal surrounding for the urban
romantic. Winner: Best of Show, Weymouth Art Association, April
1999 |

STEAMBOATS, ROWE’S WHARF The Mayflower, Queen of the Nantasket
Steamship Company fleet is tied up at Rowe’s Wharf awaiting a
return trip to Nantasket Beach. Fort Point Channel was a busy
waterway during the 1920’s and 30’s as many steamboats ferried
customers in and out of Boston Harbor. The Northern Bridge was an
engineering marvel and the Custom House towered over the city of
Boston. |
