Tales of the Back Bay Art Architecture and Urban Design

Tales of the Back Bay Art Architecture and Urban Design

Boston's Back Bay neighborhood is one of the most visited places in the city.

I am the ideal guide to show you around this remarkable place.

On our tours, I share a bit about what makes this corner of this fascinating city so unique, including the architecture, the urban design, the public art, and the people we see around us.

I've taught urban studies at area colleges for the past decade and I know what it takes to hold the attention of young people and the young at heart.

I lead all of the tours myself and we always have a good time.

Hope to see you on one of my tours.

Pass By: Back Bay, Boston, MA

Today the Back Bay is a landscape dominated by stately Victorian-era brownstones, a beautifully landscaped avenue, and an embarrassment of architectural riches. But how did the Back Bay come into existence in the first place?

During our 90 minute tour, we’ll talk about the creation of this most regal Boston neighborhood by learning about its development and transformation in the 19th & 20th centuries. Along the way, we’ll stop in at Copley Square, walk down Commonwealth Avenue Mall, and other notable sites as we talk about the distinguishing characteristics and lesser-known corners of these fine precincts. The tour includes stops at:
• Trinity Church
• Commonwealth Avenue
• The Boston Public Library
• Newbury Street
• Copley Square
