Pairing vintage photos with the same view today, Boston Then and Now
shows how the largest city in New England has preserved its historic
past amongst the new high-rises and the Government Center.
With photos that span 150 years, Boston Then and Now shows how the
largest city in New England has adapted to change as it has grown. Many
of the key places in the Revolutionary struggle are featured in the
book, including Boston Harbor, Paul Revere's house and Dorchester
Heights, from where George Washington threatened the British garrison.
The book shows how the Big Dig has transformed the city, which despite
the march of the 21st century has managed to preserve a large part of
its remarkable history.
