Architecture in Boston

Boston, Massachusetts, brings together architecture from a wide range of periods and scales. The Anderson Memorial Bridge in reinforced concrete stands alongside the ornate Victorian Ayer Mansion, while Back Bay Station and Andrew represent the city's transit infrastructure. Lighthouses such as Annisquam Harbor Light and Bakers Island Light reflect the region's seafaring building tradition. The Adams National Historical Park preserves early New England domestic architecture, and the Basilica and Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help adds a landmark of religious architecture to the mix. Designed green spaces like the Arnold Arboretum round out Boston's layered built environment.
