Washington Street is the spine of Boston!

One previous name for this stretch of pavement was Orange St. Some say this is where the Orange line train got its name.

Before this became a commercial hub, it was largely a residential neighborhood. Several of these old grand homes still exist on the many connecting streets between Washington and Tremont. Many residents left for the newly built and highly fashionable Back Bay.

I feel downtown is about to have another renaissance as residents continue to move back to the neighborhood. (Single use zoning is so last century…)
