Description

View of Boston, Suffolk County, M.A., 1879 / drawn & published by O. H. Bailey & J. C. Hazen.

This bird’s-eye view print of Boston, Massachusetts was drawn by O. H. Bailey & J. C. Hazen and published by Armstrong & Co. Lith. Riverside Press in 1879. Boston had become one of America’s largest trading and industrial centers by the 1870's. An influx of immigrants from Europe and elsewhere prompted Boston to begin a campaign of enlargement. Waterways and ravines were filled in and hills leveled in the effort to accommodate future growth.

Neighboring Roxbury township was annexed by Boston in 1868 and Dorchester became attached in 1870. Roslindale was annexed in 1873 and Brighton and Charlestown became part of the city in 1874. By 1879, Boston had recovered from a devastating fire in November of 1872 that destroyed over 750 buildings of Boston’s financial district.

The New England Manufacturers and Mechanics Institute was established in 1879 in Boston. The institute’s massive ornate exhibition hall built on Huntington Avenue was used to exhibit and lecture on modern business, manufacturing and mechanical techniques.

The map includes Boston Harbor and vicinity. Shown are labeled streets, piers, buildings and railroad routes.
