Old West End
Map of Old West End
When Boston's 18th-century architects decided to go vertical with tall church steeples, they had no idea that their graceful edifices would one day repose in the shadow of 40-story skyscrapers. Today little remains of the Old West End except for a few brick tenements and a handful of monuments, including the first house built for Harrison Gray Otis. The innovative Museum of Science is one of the more modern attractions of the Old West End.
