LECTURES

Boston is distinguished by its ever-evolving and vibrant neighborhoods, where both the new and the historic are cherished and celebrated. Emily Wolf, Architectural Historian and Assistant Survey Director at Boston Landmarks Commission, introduces us to Boston’s distinctive neighborhoods and orients us to the development of the diverse city that we now call Boston—from its founding on a small peninsula, to its expansion by landfill and annexation of neighboring towns, to the cultural and architectural diversity that has developed across the city.
