OIT TT6! The townhouses of this, the largest of South End squares, are of a similar type to other South End residential structures, but are more grand and opulent in size and ornamentation. As a group, they show the most variety in style influences. 4. Although completed after Union Park, Blackstone and Franklin Squares were actually the first to be conceived.
In 1801, Charles Bulfinch, as chairman of the Selectman, presented a plan for a "Columbia Square"-four streets of houses facing an oblong lawn split by Washington St. Franklin and Blackstone Squares deviates only slightly from this plan. Styled after the larger squares. Concord and Rutland Squares, were developed during the 1860's, Less pretentious and smaller in size, they reveal the changing hopes for the South End. SECONDARY ELEMENTS Cyclorama (see separate submission) 7. UnTike most South End houses which were built on speculation, the Allen House was built in 1859 for the resident owner. The fact that Aaron Allen was a prominent furniture dealer illuminates the origins of certain exterior ornamental motifs. The conversion of the house from a single family dwelling to a clubhouse, upon Allen's move to the Back, Bay symbolizes the social changes of the district.
Unusual in the homogeneous architectural fabric of the South End, the mansion commands an important position at the entrance to Worcester Square. 8. Completed in 1868 by M.M. Ballou, the St. James Hotel, as the Franklin Square House was originally named, was prestigious enough to attract the patronage of President U.S. Grant. It later became the home of the famed New England Conservatory of Music. Visually prominent among the smaller residential buildings, it defines one edge of Franklin Square. 9. The South End has been traditionally known for the large number of religious institutions serving the district. Because of the many Irish immigrants, the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Boston settled in the district supporting the congregation of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, whose Jesuit order founded Boston College.

Boston's South End forms a cohesive and clearly distinguishable historic district characterized by mid-nineteenth century row houses, later apartment houses often with original ground floor commercial space, TnseacutSonat Baildings. numerous churches, and scattered industrial and institutional buildings.
Generally, the earlier row houses are found on the district's side streets and parks; on the major radiating thoroughfares rowhouses are interspersed with churches and apartment houses; industrial and institutional buildings usually occupy fringe locations. The district developed primarily between 1850-1873 as a fashionable residential neighborhood of single-family row houses. Following the Financial Panic of 1873, development shifted from single-family to multi-family construction and conversion, reflecting social changes in the neighborhood. Additionally, land uses in the area diversified to institutional ventures. This supplement to the original National Register nomination form (listed 5/8/73) expands upon architectural developments between 1873-1930, thus substantiating the significance of this period in the district's development.
Planned as an area of three and four-storey brick row houses, the South End was mostly developed between ca. 1850 when the City of Boston began filling marshland to create building lots and the Financial Panic of 1873. New construction during this first period of development consisted primarily of attached single-family row houses and achieved remarkable uniformity of design and scale due to the combined effects of deed restrictions that governed building sizes, plans and materials and the presence of real estate speculators who built whole rows of houses. architectural uniformity is most marked in the South End's small parks, such as Worcester and Rutland Squares.
Greater variety of design and materials existed from the beginning on the area's major streets such as Washington Street, where some lots pre-dated the City's landfilling efforts, Massachusetts Avenue (Chester Park) where slightly larger lots and wider streets encouraged the construction of more lavish houses by individuals and Shawmut Avenue where many simple Greek Revival Style While the majority of the South End's buildings date from this initial period, portions of the district remained partially undeveloped into the 1870s. The most notable of these is Columbus Avenue, which was laid out in 1870 and was quickly built up with row houses, many of which passed by NPS:Form 10-900-a (3-82) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form Continuation sheet South End Historic Dist.

Once begun, this trend toward lodging houses and other forms of multiple-family housing accelerated until by the mid-1880s the whole South End had become predominantly an area of lodging houses (Whitehill, 1968: p. 137).
Conversion of existing buildings to lodging houses had little architectural effect on former houses, as the most frequent method of conversion was the sealing of original doorways to create separate sleeping rooms; however, toward the end of the nineteenth century, as apartment living gained acceptance in Boston, numerous new apartment hotels were constructed to house the area's diverse population. all of these new buildings were of masonry construction, usually four or five stories high, the scale of their apartments and the level of architectural detail varied by the wealth of the prospective tenants and by the location within the district.
In general, large ornate apartment houses were built for well-to-do tenants along some of the area's major thoroughfares, while smaller apartment buildings, often no more than one row house wide, were constructed for working-class occupants on side streets and in areas that had not been uniformly developed in the 1850s, such as Shawmut Avenue and sections of Washington Street. Frequently, both ambitious and modest apartment houses possessed first storey storefronts as part of their original designs. The most lavish of the area's apartment houses were directly descended from the earliest "French Flats" that began to be built in Boston in 1863 following the opening of the Hotel Pelham at the corner of Boylston and Tremont Streets, outside of the district.
Planned to contain residential suites for wealthy tenants, many of these early apartment hotels also contained servants' quarters and kitchens at their top stories, separated from the apartments which they served.

Characteristic of early apartment hotels in the South End was the Hotel St. Cloud. Constructed in the 1870s in the Second Empire style and faced with marble, the St. Cloud was built at a more imposing scale than surrounding row houses and was intended to provide large residential suites for middle and upper-middle class tenants. By the mid and late 1880s apartment hotels with large "French Flats" common on the district's major avenues.

Sears, a student of Gridley J. F. Bryant, and the ,"Chatham", a Victorian Gothic Style six-storey apartment house at 68 West Concord Street (corner of Washington Street) which was designed by Henry J. Preston and built for Elizabeth Eldredge in 1884 (Photograph B) .
Similar, but smaller, apartment hotels existed on several other major avenues in the area, most notably Columbus Avenue where, by 1885, at least seven were in operation. A notable example of this type is the "Wellington Chambers", a four-storey building that was created in the late 1890s by joining two former row houses, removing their original roofs, constructing a full fourth storey and lowering the original first storey to create storefronts at the street level (Photograph C). Unlike the conversion of former houses to lodging houses, the remodelling of two row houses to create the "Wellington Chambers" represented a substantial building project in which original stone details of the facade were matched at the new fourth storey, a carved limestone entry was installed and large apartments with double parlors and formal dining rooms were built at each storey.
A similar, but smaller renovation was carried on a former house at the north end of-Chester Square, now known as the Praeger Building at 505 Massachusetts Avenue (Photograph D)- In this conversion pressed metal bays were added to the north elevation, the original mansard roof was replaced by a flat roof with an ornate pressed metal cornice, and a partial fifth storey was added to contain servants' rooms. By the end of the century and during the beginning of the early twentieth century numerous apartment houses were built on sites that had been cleared of their original row houses. The largest and most notable of these was the "Bretagne" at 492-498 Massachusetts Avenue (Photograph E) . esigned by A. H.
Vinal in 1897, this building 1s a seven-storey structure, faced with yellow brick and trimmed with limestone; its exterior is especially noteworthy for its ornate pressed-metal bay windows and deep pressed metal cornice. its type in the South End, the "Bretagne" contains storefronts at its ground storey. The most ambitious apartment house of its period in the South End, the "Bretagne" was designed to contain five and six-room suites with double parlors and dining rooms separated from each other by paneled sliding doors. Other features included separated servants' rooms on the seventh floor, a passenger elevator in the main hall and a rear staircase with a dumbwaiter.
Smaller in scale than the "Bretagne" but similar in style and apartment layouts are a row of four four-family houses built at 1686-1692 NPS Form 10-900-a (3-82) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form SEF 30 LAS Continuation sheetSouth End Historic Dist.

Mullen, a speculative builder, from architectural plans drawn by J. L. Pope (Photograph F)- Faced with buff-colored brick and trimmed with carved limestone, these buildings remain as excellent examples of domestic Renaissance Revival style architecture.
As with other apartment hotel/apartment houses of the period, these buildings wère designed to contain large suites with double parlors, dining rooms and servants' quarters. Different in scale from the South End's ambitious middle-class apartment hotels, but sharing many of the same architectural elements are the smaller-scale tenement houses built on some of the district's side streets and particularly in the vicinity of Shawmut Avenue where numerous immigrant groups settled during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Among these groups were Germans (Lutheran), Irish (Catholic), Central European Jews, Armenians (Armenian Apostolic) and Greeks (Orthodox) all of whom formed religious congregations that either adapted existing churches to their uses or built entirely new churches.
Still important as a area of immigrant settlement, the South End continues to have a large immigrant population made up of Chinese, Puerto Rican, Lebanese and other groups. Characteristic of the simpler working-class housing associated with immigrant groups in the area are the two Weinberg Blocks at 472 & 476 Shawmut Avenue (Photograph G), both of which were built between 1915 and 1917 on the site of previous row houses. Built to heights of four stories, these buildings are constructed of red brick trimmed with limestone and pressed metal cornices.

This concerns a Memorandum of Agreement for the Viviendas La Victoria Phase I housing project (FHA Project 023-44101), Boston, Massachusetts, that was ratified by the Chairman of the Council on April 29, 1975, pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the Council's Procedures (36 CFR Part 800). HUD determined that the construction of one hundred and eighty-seven new housing units would have an effect on the South End Historic District, a property included in the National Register of Historic Places, and signed an agreement (copy attached) that set design standards for the new construction.
It has recently come to our attention that HUD proposes to approve the Viviendas La Victoria Phase II housing project in an area adjacent to the Phase I project area covered in the 1975 Agreement. HUD should review the project to determine if the Phase II project is a separate under- taking from FHA Project 023-44101 and requires the Council's comments pursuant to Section 106. Steps to determine this responsibility are set forth in Section 800.4 of the Council's Procedures. Please report the results of your investigation to this office at the earliest opportunity. If you have questions concerning this matter, call Ms. Sharon Conway at (202) 254-3967. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, Signed Myra F.

In order to do this, the facade of the buildings will be red common brick similar to that of the typical nineteenth century row houses in the area. The roof shingles will be dark in color and compatible with the surroundings. Suffolk Co Myass MCRS-NR Advisory Council on Historic Preservation 1522 K Street N.W. Washington, D.C. 20005 August 21, 1978 Mr. Kane Simonean Acting Director Boston Redevelopment Authority City Hall Boston, Massachusetts 02201 Dear Mr.
Simonean: On October 20, 1977, the Council concurred with the Boston Redevelopment Authority's determination that an emergency repair program within the South End Historic District, Boston, Massachusetts, would not adversely effect that National Register property. Our concurrence was based on your letter of August 5, 1977 (attached), that itemized the work to be included in the program. The scope of work did not include external masonry cleaning. We have recently been informed by Ms. Patricia Weslowski, Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), that an abrasive cleaning method was used on the north elevation of the Frankie 0'Day Block, a property in the South End Historic District emergency repair target area. This work was not originally included in the review documentation submitted to the Council and the SHPO and it is not an approved method of masonry cleaning.
We request that you investigate this matter to determine how exterior masonry cleaning was incorporated into the contract without benefit of Council and SHPO review. As you know, Title 24, Part 58.24 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1971, requires compllance with the Council's "Procedures for the Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties" (36 CFR Part 800). Please report the results of your investi- gation as soon as possible. Sincerely yours, t. Myra F. Harrison Assistant Director Office of Review and Compliance Enclosure The Council is an independent unit of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government charged by the Act of October 15, 1966 to advise the President and Congress in the field of Historic Preservation.

Tannenbaum Chief, Eastern Division of Project Review Advisory Council on Historic Preservation 1522 K Street, NW Washington D. C. 20005 RE: Copley Place Development, Boston, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Tannenbaum: Pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the procedures of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (36 CFR Part 800), the City of Boston, acting for the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pursuant to Section 104(h) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, has consulted with the Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Officer and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation regarding the proposed Copley Place Development in the Back Bay section of the City of Boston, for which the City applied to HUD for Urban Development Action Grant funds to assist in the implementation of this project.
The proposed project is adjacent to several properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Boston Public Library, and Trinity Church. As agreed upon during the consultation process, we submit herein a proposal for stipulations to be incorporated into a memorandum of agreement pursuant to Section 36 CFR 800.6(c). These stipulations have the concurrence of the State Historic Preservation Officer, as indicated by the signature below: 1 City Hall Squcre Boston, Massochusetts 02201 (617) 722-4300 Mr. Tannenbaum Page Two 1. The Copley Place project will be executed according to the plans and specifications prepared by the Architects Collaborative, Inc., dated July 11, 1980. 2.
Prior to commencing construction of the above grade portions of the retail center, hotels, housing, and office buildings components of the project, the City of Boston will submit final plans and specifications, to be used, to the Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Officer for review and approval. If, after review, the State Historic Preservation Officer does not approve the selection of materials and the final plans and specifications, the parties, including the City of Boston, the State Historic Preservation Officer and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation will consult further to resolve the matter.
Non-brick facade material used for the housing component of the project, including material used for window bays and for horizontal bands at the floor lines and balconies, shall be of the same or com- patible masonry materials as that selected for the overall masonry material of the other components of the project. "Dryvit" will not be used in the project. Should you have any questions with regard to this undertaking, please contact Mr. Richard Mertens, Environmental Review Officer, at (617)722-4300, extension 288, or Mr. Joseph Orfant of the Massachu-i setts Historical Commission, at (617)727-8470. -. é Concurrence: SeunkWeslt Patricia L.

DC 20005 COPY MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of the Housing and Community Development Acts of 1974 and 1977, the City of Boston (City), Massachusetts, proposes to fund, in part, the proposed Copley Place project using funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development; and, WHEREAS, the City, in consultation with the Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), has determined that this undertaking as proposed would have an adverse effect upon Trinity Church, the Boston Public Library, the South End Historic District, and the Back Bay Historic District, properties included in the National Register of Historic Places, and the St. Botolph Street Historic District, a property eligible for the National Register; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 106 oi the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. Sec.
470f, as amended, 90 Stat. 1320) and Section 800.4(d) of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's (Council) regulations, "Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties" (36 CFR Part 800), the City has requested the comments of the Council; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 800.6 of the Council's regulations, representatives of the Council, the City, and the Massachusetts SHPO have consulted and reviewed the undertaking to consider feasible and prudent alternatives to avoid or satisfactorily mitigate the adverse effect; NOW, THERFORE, it is mutually agreed that the undertaking will be implemented in accordance with the attached proposal from Robert J.

Acting oan WTouke Exe u (date) 4/7/8 utive Director Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (date) Chairman Advisory Council on Historic Preservation .. MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Office of the Secretary of State 294 Washington Street Boston, Massachusetts 02108 617-727-8470 MICHAEL JOSEPH CONNOLLY Secretary of State October 19, 1983 Carol Shull, Chief National Register of Historic Places National Park Service 18th & C Streets, NW Department of the Interior Washington, D.C. 20243 Dear Ms. Shull: Enclosed is a supplementary statement of significance, accompanied by map and photographs, to revise the National Register nomination for the South End Historic District in Boston, Massachusetts.
The South End Historic District was listed in the National Register on May 8, 1973, with a very narrow statement of significance which referenced only its initial develop- ment period of 1850-73. The enclosed material documents the development and significance of the South End through 1930; it does not suggest any boundary changes. This submission is prompted by two factors: one is our ongoing commitment to update the information contained in old National Register nominations when possible; the other is the desire of several developers to undertake certified rehabilitations on buildings which post-date 1973. To simplify attainment of the second goal, a copy of this material is being sent directly to Mid-Atlantic Regional Office. I hope that the enclosed material will prove sufficient for the review and approval of your staff and will be happy to answer any questions they may have.
