Beacon Hill: Antiques, Politics, and History

Boston’s most desired zip code. Bastion of history and politics. Home to the city’s best antique shops. Hub of great restaurants. Beacon Hill is all these things, and more. Along narrow streets, Federal-style rowhouses crowd brick sidewalks with their memories and charm, and gas streetlights show the way through one of Boston’s most historic neighborhoods. The list of residents reads like a who’s who of American cultural and political history: Louisa May Alcott, Sylvia Plath, John Cheever, Jack Welch, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy—the list goes on. When you live on Beacon Hill, you aren’t just living in Boston, you’re living in Boston’s past, present and future.
