Back Bay
Victorian elegance comes to life in the Back Bay, where rows of bay-windowed brownstones with mansard roofs line sunny, tree-lined streets. This French Academic style achieves its full effect along the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, where a tree-shaded green median path displays statues of Alexander Hamilton, William Lloyd Garrison, Leif Erikson and other notables, as an artistic complement to the ornate marble, brownstone and brick rowhouses. Art also abounds in Copley Square’s Trinity Church, where richly crafted stained-glass windows and carved stonework embellish H.H. Richardson’s Romanesque masterpiece, and the Boston Public Library, where classical murals on such themes as philosophy and Sir Galahad’s quest for the Holy Grail complement the fine book collection and Italian Renaissance architecture, including a cloistered courtyard for lunching and reading by a sculpture fountain on warm days. And don’t forget Newbury Street, which bustles with weekend crowds checking out the latest fashions, restaurants and art exhibits.
