I was sorry that I missed the trip on Friday, so I visited some of the places on Sunday, especially Smith Court Residences.
The area of lower Joy Street and Smith Court was an important center of Boston’s 19th black community. There are many old buildings and just like a big park.
Actually, there is only 3-10 Smith Court and 3, 5, 7, 4 and 2 Smith Court are private residences and are not open to the public. There must some wonderful things in them but such a pity that I could not get in.
I prefer old buildings and this day I saw a lot. Sometimes it was difficult to distinguish each house from several beautiful ones. If you look at the wall and the color, they are interesting. When you looked at them, it seemed that you could feel about the past.
The Smith must be the best for us to understand the history of African Americans in Boston. Some of the building’s construction is typical for Boston. Every house has its own unique history.
Such a beautiful place that you need to visit.
