As one of the oldest educational centers in the United States, Boston remains a world leader in higher education. By 1870 Boston had become an economic center and a cultural and political hub that influenced the rest of the nation.
The nineteenth-century saw immigration increase, and numerous groups from Ireland, Italy, and other Western European nations flocked to the city, eager for work in factories or at the bustling port. They established numerous neighborhoods and communities, many of which exist to this day. The city began filling in marshy, brackish areas in land reclamation efforts. Following the Great Fire of 1872, the rubble from destroyed buildings was used to fill in the areas along the Downton waterfront. These efforts also included annexing neighboring towns and villages.
This is a stunning example of a birds-eye perspective that bears a distinctive aesthetic and unique style characteristic of the time.
