Book Description
A lavishly illustrated look at some of Boston's most historic buildings, now available in a new, updated edition. Winner of the Historic New England Book Prize and a Boston Preservation Alliance Annual Achievement Award. As Boston fast approaches its four-hundredth anniversary, the city's architecture plays an important role in preserving its historic character. This book introduces readers to the city's early history through fifty buildings, which all pre-date 1800. Employing an approachable narrative that will appeal to non-architects and those new to historic preservation, Joseph M. Bagley guides readers through an overview of the historic preservation movement in Boston before explaining the historical significance of these structures, which include homes, churches, warehouses, and restaurants. The book begins with a map of the buildings' locations and organizes entries from the oldest to the most recent. The majority of the properties are located within Boston's downtown area, along the Freedom Trail, and within easy walking distance from the core of the city. While this makes the book an ideal guide for tourists, Boston residents will also discover buildings in the surrounding neighborhoods. Each chapter features a building, a story about its history, and the efforts made to preserve it over time. Fullcolor photos and historical drawings illustrate each structure and area. Boston's Oldest Buildings and Where to Find Them presents the ideals of historic preservation in an easy-to-read manner appropriate for the broadest audience. Perfect for history lovers, architectural enthusiasts, locals, and visitors alike. This new edition features a foreword by Robert Allison, professor of history, language, and global culture at Suffolk University, and includes three new buildings identified by the author as being amongst the oldest in the city, which illustrates the dynamic nature of archaeology.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Town of Dorchester, Massachusetts In the early part of the present century, the Rev, Dr. Thaddeus M. Harris (at that time, and for many subsequent years, the much respected minister of Dorchester) wrote a history of this ancient town, and published it in the printed Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. 9, 1st Series. In the latter part of his life he contemplated publishing a much more elaborate work upon the same subject, for which his long residence in the town, and his taste for historical research, eminently qualified him; but before making much progress in carrying out his design, his declining health and subsequent decease deprived the public of the accumulated materials chiefly entrusted to his memory. After this event, sundry gentlemen of Dorchester, impressed with the importance of collecting and preserving all existing materials tending to illustrate the early occurrences of the pioneer plantation of the Bay, from which it is believed more than 200,000 persons now living in the United States can trace their origin, associated themselves together under the name of the Dorchester Antiquarian and Historical Society.
