Wednesday Doorway

It's been quite a few months since I've posted a doorway, and it's about time again. This beautiful doorway was spotted on Dartmouth Street between Beacon St. and Commonwealth Ave.

Spring in the Public Garden

Spring on the Common

Sunny and warm weather has finally returned to Boston.

Getting Ready for Spring

Maintenance on the lagoon in the Boston Public Garden two days ago. Spring seems a long way off with snow still falling today, but one can always hope for better (and warmer) weather.

Skywatch Friday

Tadeusz Kosciuszko (1746–1817) was a Polish, Belarusian and Lithuanian national hero, and an honorary citizen of France who fought in the American Revolution under George Washington. In recognition of his dedicated and faithful service he was brevetted by the Continental Congress to the rank of Brigadier General in 1783, and became a naturalized citizen of the United States that same year.

This statue, erected in 1927 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the enlistment of Kosciuszko into the Continental Army, is the work of Theo Ruggles Kitson (1876-1932), one of the most prolific female bronze sculptors in America who also designed the world renowned statue of the Minuteman at the Lexington Battle Green. The sculpture portrays Kosciuszko holding the plans for the future West Point. The statue is located near the Boylston Street entrance of the Public Gardens.

Winter Bicycle

It's been a difficult winter in Boston this year, especially if you bicycle to work.

Lucy Stone

Lucy Stone (1818-1893), was one of the first Massachusetts women to graduate from college. She was an ardent abolitionist, a renowned orator, and the founder of the Woman's Journal, the foremost women's suffrage publication of its era. A different view of the memorial on my other blog.

Filene's of Boston

The old Filene's department store in downtown Boston. The facade on the Summer St., designed by noted architect Daniel Burnham, was retained.

Panoramic view of the old building that was razed and is being built, literally, from the ground up.
