DHS participated in the Common Boston weekend today. An annual festival of the Boston Society of Architects and now a program of the BSA Foundation, Common Boston promotes a greater appreciation of the built environment, inspires discussion about excellence in design, planning, and preservation, and broadens awareness of the rich architectural and cultural traditions present in diverse communities throughout greater Boston.
Dozens of people from dozens of places visited the Blake House, and the William and Lemuel Clap(p) Houses today, as well as the barn and carriage house, and came away with a new appreciation for the neighborhood. One person described it as discovering hidden treasure.
