Mr. Whitehill and Boston are devoted friends of long standing and his regard for the city is as personal as it is informed. In the past years a time of great physical change has come once more to Boston, this time along the Fenway, on Bay State Road, and elsewhere. The author tells of what is being done and planned, relating these things to Boston history and the continuing need for architectural beauty and simplicity. | |||
