PUBLISHERS' NOTE. 



This Guide is based on " The Strangers' Guide," which has 
been published for several years; but it has been entirely re- 
written, and brought down to date, so as to include everything 
ot general interest to the residents of Boston, and to sti-angera 
visiting the city on account of the Centennial Celebrations and 
other attractions. It is a full, compact, and clear index to the 
most noteworthy buildings, public works, views, drives, rail- 
ways, and historical treasures of Boston and its suburbs, and 
is hardly less useful for residents than for strangers. 

The references on the second page of the cover to " Boston 
Illustratkd," call attention to a full Pictorial and Descrip- 
tive Hand-Book of the city and its surroundings, which 
describes and illustrates the topographical, architectural, and 
historical incideiij;s of Boston and vicinity so fully and concisely 
as to include within a portable book a vast amount of curious 
and valuable information respecting the city and its environs. 
It has been newly revised and brought down to the present 
year, and is so handsome, useful, andche.^p a work, that no one 
interested in Boston and its history should be without it, while, 
TO all those who intend going farther than Boston, the " Hand- 
Books OF Travel," noticed on the third page of the cover. 
•wUl be found useful and valuable companions.

How to See Boston and the Suburbs, 

BY HORSE-CARS AND RAILROADS. 



This little book is compiled especially for the use 
of strangers in Boston, being intended to furnish 
them with a convenient and compact medium for 
reference in visiting the various sections of the city, 
and noting and examining the different objects of 
interest. Boston is v^^ell provided with horse-car 
facilities, the several lines traversing the entire length 
of the city, and centering at convenient starting-points 
in Bowdoin Square, junction of Cambridge, Green, 
Court, and Chardon Streets; Pariv Street Church; 
Temple Place; and in ScoUay Square, junction of 
Tremont, Court, Cornhill, and Pemberton Square. 
In the following pages will be indicated the routes to 
be taken by horse-cars, omnibuses, and ferries, or on 
foot for short distances, and a sketch of a few of the 
beautiful drives for which the suburbs are famous. 
The routes mentioned may be taken by those who 
wish to see Boston and its surroundings in private 
carriages. 

The Business Quarter. 

Since the great fire, marked changes have been made 
in the business section of Boston. In addition to the 



New Pocket Guide 



re-builcliug of the burned district, streets have been 
extended and widened (but in very few cases straight- 
ened), and many new and elegant business edifices 
talve tlie place of those destroyed in the conflagration. 
Supposing the visitor to start from Scollay Square, on 
a pedestrian tour, he should pass down Court Street, 
noticing on the right the Adams Express Office, the 
County Court House, and Sears Building, — the 
latter a very fine edifice, — and on the left two or 
three handsome granite structures, and the " Daily 
Advertiser " Building. On reaching Washington 
Street, turn to the left, and pass down into Dock 
Square, one of the oldest quarters in the city. Here 
a great improvement has been made in the extension 
of Washington Street, which has been cut through to 
Haymarket Square, and several notable new struc- 
tures appear, prominent among them being Leopold 
Morse and Go's, clothing-house; nearly opposite to 
which is Wilde's Block. A short distance farther in 
the same direction, and we reach Faneuil Hall, the 
famous " Cradle of Liberty," surmounted by the 
grasshopper vane, and, just beyond, the new Faneuil- 
hall Market, commonly known as Quincy Market. 
At the lower end of the market, we arrive at Com- 
mercial Street, with its elegant and substantial ware- 
houses. Turning to the right, and following 
Commercial Street, we come to State Street. The 
granite building in the square is the Custom House; 
and it will well repay an examination. Facing down 
the street towards the water, we see the solid and im- 
posing State-street Block of fifteen wide and high 
stores. Beyond this block is the new marginal Atlan-

tic Avenue, which is to skirt the city on the water side. 
Facing in the opposite direction, we see the Old State 
House in the centre of the street, and are looking di- 
rectly into the square where the famous Boston Mas- 
sacre took place on March 5, 1770. On either side of 
the street are business structures, some of them de- 
voted to mercantile purposes, but the most to bank- 
ing, insurance, lawyers' and brokers' offices, and the 
like. On the left is the Merchants' Exchange, for- 
merly the Post Office, the latter now forming a con- 
spicuous object on Devonshire, Water and Milk 
Streets and Post Office Square. We now pass in the 
rear of the Custom House, into India Street, tlience 
up Milk Street, into Broad, where are situated the 
principal wholesale grocery establishments. Passing 
through Broad into Oliver Street, we observe from 
tlie variety of new buildings, that we are in the sec- 
tion skirted by the great fire. Here are many metal 
and hardware establishments. From Oliver we pass 
into High Street, and enter the Fort Hill District, 
where a high hill, once covered with dwellings, has 
been levelled, and the territory devoted to business 
purposes. We come to Pearl Street, once the head- 
quarters of the shoe trade of this country, and now 
ahnost wholly occupied by wholesale boot and shoe 
dealers. Farther on is Congress Street, to a great 
extent devoted to the leather interests. And next 
comes Federal, in the vicinity of which the dealers 
in wool are largely represented. A few steps farther 
and we turn into Summer Street, which, rebuilt, pre- 
sents probably the handsomest appearance of any 
business street. Passing up the street, we see at the

corner of Kingston Street the place where the great 
fire originated, now occupied by handsome buildings. 
Prominent among the new edifices in this vicinity 
are the Church Green Block, the Montgomery Build- 
ing, and the new Bedford Buildings, all of which are 
very superior specimens of architecture, and are 
surrounded by other edifices almost equally attrac- 
tive. We turn into Devonshire Street in order to 
view Winthrop Square and the central portion of the 
rebuilt business section of Boston. The square is 
surrounded by handsome buildings with the Beebe 
Block as the most prominent among, them all. At 
the corner of Franklin Street is a large iron structure 
on the site of the old Catholic Cathedral ; while just 
below is the Franklin Building, occupied by James R. 
Osgood & Co., and Rand, Avery, & Co., and opposite 
is the Brewer Building, a large and elegant business 
edifice. Farther up toward Washington Street are 
numerous business blocks, prominent among which 
are the granite buildings occupied by Lee & Shep- 
ard, L. Prang <fe Co., <S:c. We continue our course 
along Devonshire Street, towards Milk, and are 
struck by the unique and varied styles of architec- 
ture afforded in the newly-erected buildings. At 
Milk Street we come to the large and stately struc- 
ture of the Equitable Life Insurance Company, and 
then to the Rialto Building, surmounted by a dome, 
and the new Post OflBce. Looking up Milk Street is 
seen the office of the Boston Post, on which spot 
Franklin was born, and the side of the Transcript 
Building. We pass along by the Devonshire front of 
the Post Office, till we come to Water Street, and

turn to the right clown by the Simmons Building, in 
order to get a view of Post Office Square, with the 
new buildings of the Mutual Life Insurance Company 
of New York, the New England Mutual, and 
others which may be seen on all sides. The Post 
Office is to be extended over a portion of the vacant 
lot on its easterly side. The insurance interests are 
largely concentrated in the streets around this vicin- 
ity. A tour through all the streets of the rebuilt 
section will richly repay the visitor. In walking, it 
would be well to take Post Office Sqiiare as a start- 
ing point, and the way around can -dsily be found. 
We will now retrace our steps 1 om Post Office 
Square up Water Street into Washington, leaving the 
Old South on the left, and step into School Street, at 
the northerly corner of which stands the famous Old 
Corner bookstore. Farther on, at the right hand, 
we get a view of the magnificent City Hall, in the 
area in front of which the statue of Franklin keeps 
guard. Fartlier up is the ancient King's Chapel, 
and on the left is the Parker House. On turning to 
the left into Tremont Street, we find on the right the 
Tremont House, a large and elegant stone-front 
hotel of the first class, the Granary Burying Ground, 
— the third established in Boston, — and Park- 
street Church. On the left are Tremont Temple, 
the Horticultural Hall, and the Studio Building. 
In Winter Street, which comes into Tremont just 
below the head of the Common, are several dry- 
goods stores, a7jd the well-known jewelry establish- 
ment of A. Stowell & Co. It is a central street for 
ladies' shopping ; and the Music Hall, containing the

" Great Organ," is on a court just off Winter Street, 
on the left as one faces Washington Street. Next 
comes Temple Place, where are some fine business 
structures. We have meanwhile passed St. Paul's 
(Episcoi^al) Church, and the United States Court 
House, on the corner of Temple Place. Continuing 
still on Tremont Street, we pass the beautiful mar- 
ble building occupied by Wm. P. Sargent & Co., and 
other handsome structures of recenl; erection, and 
come to the foot of the Common. Here we see sev- 
eral very fine buildings : on the north-east corner of 
Tremont and Boylston Streets is the Masonic Tem- 
ple, dedicated in 1867 ; on the south-east corner is 
the Hotel Boylston, one of the most elegant French 
flat-hotels in the city, owned by the Hon. Charles 
Francis Adams ; on the south-west corner is the 
Hotel Pelham, the pioneer in Boston of the "flat" 
system, and famous from having been moved back 
bodily twenty feet when Tremont Street was 
widened, without disturbing the occupants of the 
house; the next building but one, passing down 
Boylston Street, opposite the Common, is the Public 
Library, to be mentioned again. Turning now away 
from the Common into Boylston Street, we reach 
Washington Street, and, turning to the left, we fol- 
low it to Cornhill. On the right we pass the Globe 
Theatre, and the Emigrant Savings Bank structure. 
On the left is the Hotel Belmont, while further on is 
the fine building of the Mercantile Savings Institu- 
tion and the Boston Theatre. We are now in the 
great retail district of the city, where may be seen 
the wholesale and retail dry-goods establishment of

Jordan, Marsh, & Co., and the marble building oc- 
cupied by Macullar, Williams, & Parker's clothing 
store. Down Washington Street are the Transcript, 
Journal, Globe, and Herald newspaper offices, and 
numbers of retail stores of all kinds and descriptions. 
By turning into Cornhill at Dock Square the visit- 
or soon finds himself in Scollay Square whence lie 
started out on his two-mile ramble. 

The Back Bay, Public Garden, and Common. 

The section of the city embraced in these three 
divisions is one of the most attractive offered in 
Boston, both in extent and variety. To visit the 
Back Bay, we take a Beacon-street car at the Park- 
street Church, we pass through Tremont, Boylston, 
Clarendon, and Marlborough Streets to Dartmouth. 
Here we are in the region which is now rapidly 
filling up with elegant dwelling-houses. We leave 
the car, and pass into Beacon Street, through which 
we walk to Berkeley Street, between some of the 
finest mansions in Boston. We walk through Berke- 
ley Street, passing by, first, the very beautiful First 
Church (Unitarian), then the costly and imposing 
Central Church (Cong. Trin.). Between the two is 
Commonwealth Avenue, already a fine street, but 
one that will be still more delightful when it has 
been extended, as is designed, to Brookline, and 
when the- rows of trees shall have attained greater 
size. We pass also, beyond, the Central Church, and 
the fine building of the* Boston Society of Natural 
History, which is open to the public every Wednes-

day and Saturday. We must turn down Boylston 
Street to see its companion building the Massachu- 
setts Institute of Teclinology. In this vicinity, too, 
one can get an excellent idea of the magnitude of 
the Back Bay improvements. Taking his station at 
the junction of Boylston and Dartmouth, with his 
back to Bfeacon Street, he sees on the right the splen- 
did edifice of the Old South Society ; on the left, the 
new Chauncy-Hall School; while in front, near 
where Huntingdon Avenue joins Boylston Street, 
are seen the new Museum of Fine Arts, and the new 
buildings of the Trinity Church Society. The square 
tower of the Brattle-street Church, with its numerous 
figures, forms an attractive object at the corner of 
Commonwealth Avenue and Clarendon Street, and 
the four or five handsome family hotels in this vicin- 
ity may be easily distinguished from their peculiar 
dimensions and architecture. Retracing our steps, 
we pass up Boylston Street to Arlingto'h, where we 
turn to the left, and walk on the Public-Garden side 
of the street, the better to see the Arlington-street 
Church and the magnificent residences on the west- 
erly side, to the central gate of the Garden. On enter- 
ing the Public Garden we find ourselves facing Ball's 
excellent equestrian statue of Washington. To the 
left we see a group of statuary representing the Good 
Samaritan, on a pedestal, — the noble gift of a pri- 
vate^citizen, to adorn these grounds, and to commem- 
orate the discovery of an£esthetics. Beyond, at the 
centre of the northerly side, we see the statue of 
Edward Everett. We cross the bridge, and pass 
directly through the Garden, unless we prefer to

wander about, or to rest upon one of the seats so 
abundantly provided ; and, crossing 'Charles Street, 
we arc in the Common. Here is occupation for 
many a leisure hour. We may enjoy the spectacle 
of the boys at their sport on the Parade Ground ; we 
may wander up to the Boylston-street side, and look 
into the ancient graveyard or the pleasant deer-park ; 
we may climb the hill, and see the foundation of the 
Soldiers' Monument; we may sit down by the Frog 
Pond, and watch the boys and girls at pjay ; we may 
go and see the famous Old Elm, which has been a 
living tree since Boston was first settled, and from 
whose branches more than one supposed witch has 
been suspended ; or we may walk idly along the 
broad malls in the refreshing shade of the grand old 
trees. We should not fail, however, to see, before 
our return to Park-street Church, the fine bronze 
fountain near the Park-street mall, which the gen- 
erosity of a single citizen has placed there. Nor 
could the tour end more profitably than by a visit to 
the State House, where scores of interesting objects 
are to be seen, and by climbing to the cupola, from 
which the best view of Boston is to be had. 

The South End. 

Our next trip is one that can be made mostly by 
horse-cars, and calls for but a small exercise of 
pedestrian powers. We will start, as before, from 
Park-street Church, taking a Lenox-street car, and 
riding to its southern terminus. We pass over famil- 
iar ground to Boylston Street, but continue in

Tremont Street to the South End. After crossing the 
bridge over the Boston and Albany Railroad, we 
pass on the right, the extensive Bay-State Moulding 
Mills. Beyond Berkeley Street, on the corner of 
which is the elegant new Odd Fellows' Hall, we 
come into the region of churches. On the right is 
the Clarendon-street Baptist Church, close by the 
Smith American Organ Factory. On the left are the 
peculiar-shaped brick tower of the Shawmut Con- 
gregational Church, and the beautiful structure of 
the Tremont-street Methodist Society. Arrived at 
the end of our route, we notice the immense factory 
where Chickering's piano-fortes are made. We pass 
through Northampton Street northward to Columbus 
Avenue, merely to glance at that fine thoroughfare, 
from the extreme end of which we see the steeple of 
Park-street Church, and to pass up one block to 
West Chester Park. We walk through the latter 
avenue and Chester Square to Washington Street. 
One block northward on Washington Street brings 
us to the marble-front Commonwealth Plotel. 
Another block, and we come to Worcester Square on 
the right-hand side. We pass through Worcester 
Square to Harrison Avenue, having in front of us the 
immense City Hospital. Turning down Harrison 
Avenue, we come at Concord Street to the Church 
of the Immaculate Conception, and Boston College. 
At Newton Street we turn once more towards 
Washington Street, but pass into Franklin Square, 
iu order the better to examine the imposing front of 
the St. James Hotel. On the opposite side of Wash- 
ington Sti-eet is the mate to Franklin Square, —

Blackstone Square. A short distance down "Wash- 
ington Street, we come to the yet unfinished but 
majestic Cathedral of the Holy Cross. On the left, 
and a little farther on is the Continental Hotel, — 
an immense and very elegant marble-front hotel on 
the French flat system. We may now take any 
horse-car that overtakes us and arrive back at Park- 
street Church, after passing on the way many objects 
of interest, which it is unnecessary to specify. 
Another trip to the South End and Highlands, 
through Tremont Street, Shawmut Avenue, &c., is 
offered by the cars of the Highland Railway. 

South Boston. 

There are several public buildings in South Boston 
that should be visited if time permit. We may take 
a earmarked "South Boston, Broadway," at Scollay 
Square, and pass at first through a district we have 
already visited. In Summer Street we see many fine 
business houses that we have not previously included 
in our trips. In Chauncy Street we see many large 
dry-goods houses, and pass on the right the fine 
building of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic 
Association, which is occupied by the Boston and the 
National Boards of Trade. On our route we pass by 
the United States Hotel, and the stati<»n^<)f the A - 
bany and the Old Colony Railroads. We are sup 
posed to have provided our!!.e!ves at the liead-'jiiarter« 
of the Institution for the Blind, No. 20 Bronifield 
Street, with peraiits to enter that asylum , and we 
soon arrive on the Heights where it is situated. The

visit cannot fail to be exceedingly interesting. After 
leaving the Institution, we walk through Broadway 
and M Streets, by Independence Square, to the terri- 
tory occupied by the House of Correction, House of 
Industry, Insane Hospital, and Almshouse. Keturn- 
ing to the corner of K Street and Broadway, we take 
a Bay-View and Eighth-street car into the city by 
another route. 

East Boston. 

The principal objects of interest in East Boston are 
the Grand Junction Wharves and the Cunard 
Steamer Docks. We start once more from Scollay 
Square by an East-Boston car, and pass through the 
poorest quarter of the city, — the Five Points of Bos- 
ton. After a pleasant trip across the ferry, we are 
landed very near the Grand- Junction Wharves, which 
we reach by passing through Marginal Street. Cu- 
nard Wharf lies directly on the way, and we shall be 
peculiarly unfortunate if we do not see one of the 
great ocean freight steamers at the dock or lying in 
the stream. The scene on the arrival of one of these 
steamers, when she is discharging her cargo or reload- 
ing, is full of interest ; and the busy activity of the 
Grand-Junction Wharves at all times makes this one 
of the trips that ought to be taken. 

Bunker Hill District. 

We will make the circuit of the suburban towns, 
beginning on the North. Charlestown, or as it is 
called since annexation, " The Bunker Hill District,"

is reached by any car of the Middlesex Railroad ; but 
we will take a Chelsea car, of the Lynn and Boston 
Railroad, that will carry us by the Navy Yard. On 
our way we pass by the Boston and Maine Railroad 
Station in Ilaymarket Square, and over Charles-river 
Bridge into Charlestown Square, where we shall see 
the building, once a fine hotel, known as the Wa- 
verlcy, which was built out of the profits of the 
*' Waverley Magazine," but is now used for various 
business purposes. Arrived at the Navy Yard, we 
leave the car, and examine the numerous points 
of interest within. On leaving the yard, we shall see 
the tall shaft of Bunker-hill Monument, and shall 
need no guide to direct us to it. We must of course 
climb the monument, and obtain one of the finest 
views to be had anywhere. From the south window 
we have a complete bird's-eye view of Boston ; from 
the east, the harbor ; from the north, Everett, Chel- 
sea, Revere, Maiden, and Lynn; and from the west 
window we look out to Cambridge and Arlington, to 
Watertown and Belmont ; and in a clear day we may 
see Wachusett Mountain in Worcester County, and 
Kearsarge and the White Mountains in New Hamp- 
shire. The several points to be noticed are briefly 
described elsewhere. From the monument, we 
should pass near enough to the State Prison, at least 
to see its gloomy and forbidding walls ; and a walk 
into the city from that point will not be a great task. 
If, after crossing by the lower or Charles-river Bridge, 
we pass down Commercial Street a short distance, we 
shall be in the . immediate vicinity of the ancient 
Copp's-hill Burying Ground, between Snowhill and

Hull Streets : that will well repay a \isit. "We then 
pass through Hull Street to Salem Street, by Christ 
Church, — the oldest church-building yet remaining 
in the city. From Salem Street we pass into Han- 
over, and through that formerly narrow but now 
spacious street, past the American House, — the 
largest hotel in the city, — on the right, into Court 
Street and Scollay Square, whence we started. 

Cambridge. 

In order to see as much as possible of Cambridge in 
one trip, we will take at Bowdoin Square, opposite 
the Revere House, a car marked " East Cambridge, 
Harvard Square." We pass through Green and 
Leverett Streets, and cross Craigie's Bridge. In East 
Cambridge we see a large number of important fac- 
tories. We pass through Cambridge Street, its whole 
length, to Harvard Square, where we alight, and in- 
spect the old and new buildings of Harvard College. 
In coming to the Square through Cambridge Street, 
we have passed, first, Appleton Chapel, in the corner 
of the college yard ; then Hoi worthy Hall, built with 
money raised by a lottery : Thayer, Stoughton, and 
Hollis, all dormitories. We now see, close to the 
fence, Harvard Hall with its belfry, and directly 
opposite old Massachusetts Hall, built in the seven- 
teenth century, the oldest building in the yard, 
having a clock-face that was put up in 1725. In the 
corner nearest to Brattle Street are. Grays, Mat- 
thews, and Wells Halls; and a little beyond, on 
Harvard Street, is Boylston Hall, where is deposited

the College Museum : that may be visited. Boylston 
Hall may be recognized from its being the only 
rough-granite building in the yard. A short distance 
beyond, and farther removed from the street, is Gore 
Hall, where is the rich old library of the university, 

— a building which is also open to the public. The 
buildings of the Lawrence Scientific School, the 
Divinity School, the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 
and the Memorial Hall, are outside the college yard, 
between Cambridge and Kirkland Streets, and be- 
yond Kirkland Street. After having inspected these 
several buildings, we take a Garden Street and 
Mount Auburn car. We pass by the Common, with 
the Soldiers' Monument on the right, and by the ele- 
gant new church of the Shepherd Congregational So- 
ciety on the left. In the middle of the street is the 
famous Washington Elm, under which Gen. Wash- 
ington took command of the American army in 1775, 
At Mount Auburn we pass into that great city of the 
dead, where again we shall find occupation for all the 
time that can be spared. No one should fail to visit 
the chapel, and to ascend to the top of the tower. In 
returning v/e take a Mount Auburn car that is not 
marked ''Garden Street," and we shall then return 
through Brattle Street to Harvard Square. On our 
way we pass by the residence of the poet Longfellow, 

— an old mansion of the Revolutionary period, used 
in 1775 by Gen. Washington as his headquarters. On 
our way into the city through Main Street, we see a 
great many fine residences and churches ; and from 
West Boston Bridge we get another excellent view 
of Boston, especially the Back-bay region. It will be

well to finish up our views in Boston proper, by 
leaving the car at Charles Street, just after crossing 
the bridge ; and turning to the left near the Mason & 
Hamlin Cabinet Organ Factory, we shall soon come 
to the City Jail, a fine granite building. A little far- 
ther on we see the magnificent building of the 
Massachusetts General Hospital: we pass up Allen 
Street, and then, turning to the right, pass through 
Chambers to Cambridge Street. Ascending Cam- 
bridge Street, we see on the left the old building of 
the West Church. Nearly opposite is Temple Street, 
up which we walk, past Grace Church on the right, 
to the massive stone Beacon-hill Keservoir. This 
solid structure now stands where was the highest 
point of Beacon Hill before it was cut down. We 
go over the hill, and through Mount Vernon Street 
to Beacon Street. Turning to the left, we soon 
reach the Boston Athenaeum, where is a fine gallery 
of paintings on exhibition, and a very large library, 
which may be visited. On leaving the Athenaeum, 
we pass through Beacon and Somerset Streets and 
Pemberton Square, — a nest of lawyers', architects', 
and corporation offices, — to Scollay Square. 

Chestnut Hill. 

We follow our plan of describing routes to be 
taken by those who wish to see the leading points of 
mterest in and about Boston without incurring the 
expense of a private carriage. Nevertheless, it must 
be said that the drive to Chestnut Hill is one of the 
most charming imaginable; and if one drive, and

one only, is to be taken by the visitor to Boston, this 
should certainly be chosen in preference to all others. 
The cheaper conveyance, however, is by the steam- 
cars. A train of the Boston, Hartford, and Erie 
Railroad should be taken at the Boston and Albany 
Station, and a ticket purchased for Chestnut Hill. 
The train will stop at several points of interest along 
the way; but these need not be described. Nor 
need any thing be said of tlie most lovely views at 
Chestnut Hill itself. If the visitor has driven to the 
Reservoir, he will find numerous ways of returning 
to the city different from that by which he went out ; 
but the less extravagant traveller must return by the 
railroad. 

Roxbury and Dorchester. 

The horse-car routes through these new wards of 
Boston are so arranged, and the objects of interest 
are so far distant from each other, that, if one 
wishes simply to see the sights of Boston, he must 
occupy a great deal of time. We shall therefore in 
this place merely indicate the routes to be taken to 
each particular point, leaving each one to decide 
which of them, if not all, he will see. Forest-hills 
Cemetery is reached by the Forest-hills horse-cars, 
which start from Park-street Church. The cemetery 
lies in the West Roxbury district, and in reaching it 
we pass through an interesting part of Roxbury. If 
we take a Dorchester and Grove-hail car, also from 
Park-street Church, we shall pass, on Warren Street, 
in Roxbury, the estate of Gen. Joseph Warren, who 
fell at Bunker Hill; and, after noticing on either

side the elegant estates and fine residences which 
line Warren Street, we come to Grove Hall, now 
occupied for a Consumptives' Home. The Mount 
Pleasant cars will carry us to a beautiful part of 
Roxbury ; and near the terminus of the line is the 
estate of Gov. Eustis, with its ample grounds and 
spacious residence. Dorchester is very beautiful in 
many parts ; and the horse-cars, which start from the 
foot of Summer Street, or the Old Colony and the 
Hartford and Erie Railroads, will carry one to ahnost 
any desired point. 

The Harbor. 

A visit to Boston should not be considered as fin- 
ished before one has taken a sail down the harbor. 
There are several routes that may be followed ; and 
it would be diflicult to choose among them, since 
they all afford an opportunity to see nearly every 
point of interest in this part of the suburbs. They 
all take one past the forts and among the islands, 
give a view of the surrounding country, and whether 
running to Long Island, to Hull, to Downer's Land- 
ing, to Strawberry Hill, to Nantasket Beach, to Hing- 
ham, or to Nahant, reach some point that will, by its 
beauty and the interest that attaches to it, well repay 
a visit. 

A Sight from Bunker-hill Monument. 

It is so difficult to identify familiar objects from a 
new point of view, that it is well to have some assist- 
ance in looking over such a vast expanse of country

as is opened to our view from the top of Bunlver-hill 
Monument. We will suppose the visitor to the mon- 
ument to look out first to the north. We notice, first, 
the singular peninsula of Nahant, with its long neck 
reaching to Lynn, the city of shoes; and then we 
follow the coast across the mouth of Saugus Eiver, 
along Revere or Chelsea Beach, to the little town of 
Winthrop. To the left of the coast, we see the city 
of Chelsea spread out before us ; the towns of Mai- 
den, Everett, Melrose, and Saugus, with their numer- 
ous villages ; and the trains on the Eastern and the 
Boston and Maine Roads passing along their swift 
but apparently snail-like course. 

We turn now to the west, and here a glorious pros- 
pect opens before us. The entire country is dotted 
with villages, crossed by railroads, watered by rivers, 
made beautiful by being covere'd with pretty and 
comfortable dwelling-houses. On the extreme right, 
we see close beneath our feet the new city of Sonier- 
ville ; and Medford lies beyond it. Turning a little 
to the left, we look out over Arlington towards Lex- 
ington; and, if it be a clear day, we may see the 
White Mountains from this point; while due west 
we see Cambridge, the University, the United States 
Arsenal in Watertown, and Mount Auburn. 

A little farther south we see Brighton and its 
stock-yards ; the beautiful town of Newton, — for- 
merly a cluster of pretty villages, but rapidly becom- 
ing an area wholly covered by one great village; 
Brookline, with its reservoir; beyond, the Chestnut- 
hill Reservoir; and a little more to the south, 
Jamaica Pond.

Once more we change our position, and look out of 
the south window upon Boston. The sight is at first 
somewhat confusing. We see a vast area completely 
covered with dwellings, churches, and warehouses. 
Only the practised eye can pick out any particular 
building that differs but slightly from the rest in 
architecture. We shall have no difficulty in finding 
the State House. Close to it is the First Baptist 
Church on Somerset Street. We can see the peculiar 
steeple of the Old South to the left ; and the churches 
on the Back Bay may be easily distinguished. From 
this station we may see the line of every railroad out 
of Boston. Roxbury and Dorchester, now constitut- 
ing four of the wards of Boston, lie beyond the city 
proper; and at the extreme left we may see, on 
Dorchester Heights in South Boston, the Perkins 
Institution for the- Blind, and beyond, several city 
institutions, which are only pleasant objects to look 
at when visited voluntarily. 

We look out now from the east window upon the 
harbor and East Boston. Forts Winthrop and Inde- 
pendence lie comparatively near, and will easily be 
distinguished. Upon Long-Island Head we see the 
lighthouse that has been erected to guide vessels into 
the inner harbor. Farther down the harbor is the 
famous Fort Warren, and beyond it the town of Hull. 
If the weather is clear, we may see, at the entrance of 
the harbor, the outer Boston Light. Nearly beneath 
our eyes lies East Boston ; and we may easily distin- 
guish the extensive wharves and grain elevator of the 
Boston and Albany Railroad, andthe wharf where the 
Cunard steamers land their passengers and cargo.

A SERIES OF DRIVES. 

To Chelsea Beach. 

An interesting drive for visitors from the interior, 
to whom the sight of the sea is a novelty, may be 
laid out as follows : starting from any central point, 
— as, for instance, Scollay Square, — we will proceed 
through Hanover, Union, and Charlestown Streets, 
over Charles-river Bridge, to Charlestown. We 
then pay a visit to Bunker-hill Monument and the 
Navy Yard on our way, and proceed over Chelsea 
Bridge to Chelsea ; thence directly through the city 
to Revere Village, where we turn to the right, and 
ride down to Revere or Chelsea Beach. This is a 
magnificent beach, smooth and hard, upon which 
the waves dash grandly. The Highland Park Hotel, 
on "Powderhorn Hill," is a new summer resort; and 
from it a fine view of surrounding scenery is obtained. 
In returning, we may come back by way of Everett, 
Maiden, Medford, and the new city of Somerville, 
seeing how rapidly the suburbs of Boston are grow- 
ing, and entering the city by way of Craigie's Bridge, 
through East Cambridge. 

To Lexington, Watertown, and Mount Auburn. 

The easiest way to visit the battle-ground of Lex- 
ington is by railroad ; still it may be reached by a 
rather long but very interesting drive. We pass out 
of Boston by the West Boston (Cambridge) Bridge, 
and, taking Broadway, follow the direct road through

Cambridge, past Fresh Pond, into and through 
Arlington, into Lexington. Turning then to the 
north, we ride through East Lexington Village to 
Lexington Village and the battle-field, on which may- 
be seen the new statues of Hancock and Adams. On 
our return, we visit Waltham, where the great Amer- 
ican Watch Factory is situated, and, passing through 
Newton into Watertown, stop to look over the United 
States Arsenal; thence to Mount Auburn, by the 
houses of Lowell and Longfellow, and the Washing- 
ton Elm, to Harvard Square and the buildings of the 
University, elsewhere described, and thence back to 
Boston. 

To Chestnut Hill and Newton. 

This is the favorite direction for drives out of 
Boston. The route is by way of Beacon Street, 
through the whole length of that magnificent 
avenue, and over the Milldam Road. On reaching 
the fork in the road, we take the branch to the 
right, — Brighton Avenue, — and continue to the 
Baptist Church at the corner of Cambridge Street. 
We have been passing over the "Brighton Road," 
famed in song, and the popular sleigh-drive on the 
few occasions in winter when that class of vehicles 
can be brought into use. We turn now to the left, 
and pass through Brighton to Newton Corner, 
thence by Centre Street to Newton Centre, where 
we take Beacon Street, and return by the way of 
the Chestnut-hill Reservoir, and from thence in a 
straight line, by Corey's Hill, into Boston by the 
way we went out.

To Jamaica Plain and Forest Hills. 

Our next drive is to the suburbs on the south of 
the city; and, as before, we will make a circuit. 
Passing once more out of the city by Beacon Street 
and the Milldam Road, we take the left branch, and 
pass through Western Avenue, and the beautiful 
village of Longwood, to the Brookline Reservoir on 
Boylston Street. From the reservoir, by a winding 
road that gives us some glimpses of lovely scenery, 
we come to the charming Jamaica Pond, around 
which we ride ; thence to Forest-hills Cemetery, and 
back into Boston by way of Shawmut Avenue, 
Egleston Square, Walnut Avenue, Warren Street, 
and Washington Street. 

To Dorchester. 

Our last suburban drive takes us through the 
greater part of Roxbury and Dorchester. We ride 
through Tremont Street and Shawmut Avenue, to 
Dudley Street, then through Warren Street, past the 
Warren House, to Grove Hall, and by way of Blue- 
hill Avenue, to Mattapan Village, and the Blue 
Hills in Milton. Returning, we ride through Milton 
Lower Mills, Harrison Square. Savin Hill, and 
South Boston, passing by the Blind Asylum, if we 
wish, over the Federal-street Bridge, into the city.

constantly on duty, and tlie officcry and men at the 
engine houses, are ready, day and night, to respond 
to the alarms of fire. There are twenty-nine steam 
fire engines, located, besides five held in reserve, 
each officered by a foreman, assistant foreman, en- 
gine man, assistant engine man, and eight hosemen. 
The city propei- has but about a quarter of this num- 
ber of engines, the rest being distributed in South 
and East Boston, and the newly annexed wards. 
There are eleven hook and ladder companies, and 
fifteen horse hose companies, all thoroughly officered. 
There are also seven chemical engines, which are 
often of great assistance in extinguishing fires, being 
lighter and more readily set to work than the steam- 
ers. There is also a fire-boat for use around the 
water front. The whole force employed in the Fire 
Department is seven hundred men. 

FIRE ALARMS. 

The Fire Alarm Telegraph is under charge of Supt. 
John F. Kennard, whose headquarters are at City Hall. 
From the dome of the City Hall radiate all the 
wires which, connected with the bells in churches and 
other public edifices, and the gongs in engine houses, 
sound the alarm simultaneously in all sections of 
the city, giving the district in which the fire occurs, 
the number having been previously telegraphed from 
the locality to City Hall. The system is thus ex- 
plained: to announce the existence of a fire near 
Box No. 41 (Old South Church), the bells wi'l strike 
four^ make a pause of a few seconds, then strike one,

Hotels. 

The following partial list of the hotels in Boston 
may be of use to strangers stopping in the city. The 
houses are classified. Those which are wholly or 
chiefly boarding or family hotels are marked with an 
asterisk (*). Those which are large and first-class 
in every respect are printed in small, capitals, and 
those which are smaller in size, though perhaps 
equally worthy of patronage, are printed in italics. 

I consider the Cabinet Organs manufactured by 

' NEW ENGLAND ORGAN COMPANY 

fully equal in tone, mechanism, and appearance to 
those produced in any establishment in the country; 
and would call attention to the ^' soft register, ^^ or 
Dulciana, as being uncommonly delicate and refned.

The stranger in Boston who cannot find a place to 
satisfy his hunger in any part of the city must be ex-

who do not know where to go, with an assurance 
that they will be well-served, we insert a list of cafes, 
restaurants, and confectioners of the best reputation 
in various parts of Boston; but as the list is short, 
and does not pretend to be complete, the absence of 
any saloon or eating-house from it is not to be taken 
as in any way prejudicial to it. Those where ladie*
