Today while waiting outside the Beacon Hill Market at the corner of Anderson and Myrtle with Ruebin, our dog, I spied the manhole featured in the photo.

The old John Hancock building near Copley Square topped by its weather beacon as seen from across the street at The Clarendon (Unit 20E)

Located at the Arlington Street gate is the equestrian statue of George Washington, by Thomas Ball in 1869

The Boston Common's Founders Memorial by John F. Paramino, is a tribute to two of the most historical figures in Boston. It depicts William Blackstone, the first settler of Boston, openly greeting John Winthrop, who would go on to be the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
