11 September, 2021

Description

90-minute walks focused on the Italian, Jewish, and multi- ethnic communities displaced by urban renewal in 1961. Tours will focus on three West End buildings that survived urban renewal but are likely to be lost to development in 2021-2022: West End House, Winchell School, and one of the last original brick tenements. History buff Jim Briand will explore the history of these buildings and what they tell us about education, immigrant assimilation, and day-to-day living in the tight confines of the old West End. 150 Staniford St., Suite 7, Boston, MA 02114 The West End Museum is a neighborhood museum dedicated to the collection, preservation and interpretation of the history and culture of the West End of Boston.
