Book Synopsis Beacon Hill by : Cynthia Chalmers Bartlett
Book excerpt: One of the oldest neighborhoods in the United States, Beacon Hill welcomed its first resident in the 1620s. Serving as a strategic lookout during the Revolutionary War and a fashionable address for Boston's most prominent families in the early 1800s, the hill enjoys an architectural continuity and integrity highlighted by cobblestone streets, gas lamps, and hidden gardens.
