City Hall is a 9-level, horizontally-oriented brutalist building designed by Kallmann McKinnell & Knowles and located at the heart of a brick-paved Government Center plaza in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. It is rectangular in plan, but is an inverted pyramid in elevation. Although critically acclaimed upon its completion, it is widely regarded by Bostonians as an ugly building. City Hall is located in Government Center in downtown Boston. The adjoining 8-acre (32,000 m2) City Hall Plaza is often used for parades and rallies; most memorably, the region's championship sports teams, the Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins, New England Patriots and the Boston Red Sox, have been feted in front of City Hall. A huge crowd in the plaza also greeted Queen Elizabeth II during her 1976 Bicentennial visit, as she walked from the Old State House to City Hall to have lunch with the Mayor. #3 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Faneuil Hall Boston MA ~0.13 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Faneuil Hall Faneuil Hall (pronounced /'fæn(j)?l/, previously /'f?n?l/), located near the waterfront and today's Government Center, in Boston, Massachusetts, has been a marketplace and a meeting hall since 1742.

It is also one of only sixteen extant membership libraries, meaning that patrons pay a yearly subscription fee to use the Athenaeum's services. The institution was founded in 1807 by the Anthology Club of Boston, Massachusetts. The Oxford English Dictionary defines “athenaeum” as: 1. An association of persons interested in scientific and literary pursuits, meeting for the purpose of mutual improvement; a literary or scientific club; 2. A building or institution in which books, periodicals, and newspapers are provided for use; a literary club-room, reading-room, library. Just as a museum is a place for the muses who inspire art, so an athenaeum is a place for Athena, the goddess of wisdom who inspires intellectual pursuits. #9 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Old Granary Burying Ground Boston MA ~0.27 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Old Granary Burying Ground #10 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Orpheum Theater Boston MA ~0.28 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Orpheum Theater #11 of 30 Things To Do in Boston King's Chapel Boston MA ~0.29 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to King's Chapel #12 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Suffolk University 8 Ashburton Place Boston MA - 617-573-8000 ~0.30 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Suffolk University http://www.suffolk.edu #13 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Park Street Church Boston MA ~0.31 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Park Street Church #14 of 30 Things To Do in Boston New England Aquarium Boston MA ~0.31 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to New England Aquarium #15 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Freedom Trail Boston ~0.32 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Freedom Trail #16 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Massachusetts State House Boston MA ~0.36 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Massachusetts State House #17 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Long Wharf Boston MA ~0.37 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Long Wharf #18 of 30 Things To Do in Boston North End Boston MA ~0.39 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to North End #19 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Paul Revere's House Boston MA ~0.40 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Paul Revere's House #20 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Boston Harbor Islands State Park Boston MA ~0.42 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Boston Harbor Islands State Park This 17-island state park is part of the 34-island Boston Harbor Islands National Park Area.

The first was a purpose-built opera house opened in 1909 and demolished in 1958. The second, a former movie palace, was operated by the Opera Company of Boston from 1980 to 1991. After suffering severe damage while closed, the theater was completely renovated and reopened in 2004. The first Boston Opera House was built in 1909 on Huntington Ave. in Boston, Massachusetts. It was described as a "perfect jewel-box of an opera house" and despite its smallish size, was the venue for many of the local opera companies, as well as regular visits by the Metropolitan Opera. It was just two blocks from Boston Symphony Hall, and one block from the New England Conservatory of Music. During the Great Depression and World War II, the Opera House fell into disuse and disrepair. In 1957, the Boston Redevelopment Authority, acting on behalf of the Northeastern University Trustees, declared the Opera House unsafe, and scheduled it for demolition. The local opera community demonstrated and petitioned the BRA to spare their only venue, but the order stood. The solidly built building was gutted in 1958, but proved difficult to demolish. Two demolition companies gave up in frustration, as the opera house resisted their efforts. Only after a new and larger wrecking derrick arrived, did the walls fall. A brick rescued from the demolished theater by noted WGBH-FM announcer Ron Della Chiesa is preserved in the theater's archives at Northeastern University. Speare Hall, a Northeastern University dormitory, now stands on the site at the corner of Opera Place and Huntington Ave. #22 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Museum of African American History Boston MA ~0.43 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Museum of African American History #23 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Harrison Gray Otis House Boston MA ~0.43 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Harrison Gray Otis House #24 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Nichols House Museum Boston MA ~0.45 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Nichols House Museum #25 of 30 Things To Do in Boston TD Banknorth Garden - Boston Celtics - Boston Bruins Boston MA ~0.53 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to TD Banknorth Garden - Boston Celtics - Boston Bruins #26 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Old North Church Boston MA ~0.53 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Old North Church #27 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Copp's Hill Burying Ground Boston MA ~0.55 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Copp's Hill Burying Ground Founded by the town of Boston in 1659, Copp's Hill Burying Ground is the second oldest burying ground in the city. The cemetery's boundaries were extended several times, and the grounds contain the remains of many notable Bostonians in the thousands of graves and 272 tombs. Among the Bostonians buried here are the original owner, William Copp's, children, also Increase Mather, Cotton Mather, Robert Newman (the patriot who placed the signal lanterns in the steeple of Old North Church for Paul Revere's midnight ride to Lexington and Concord), Prince Hall (the father of Black Freemasonry) and many unmarked graves of the African Americans who lived in the "New Guinea" community at the foot of the hill. The cemetery was not an official stop on the Freedom Trail when it was created in 1951, but it has since been added and is much-frequented by tourists and photographers. #28 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Leather District (Neighborhood) Boston MA ~0.56 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Leather District #29 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Beacon Hill (Neighborhood) Boston MA ~0.60 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Beacon Hill Beacon Hill is a historic neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts that along with neighboring Back Bay is home to about 26,000 people. It is a neighborhood of Federal-style rowhouses and is known for its narrow, gas-lit streets and brick sidewalks. Today, Beacon Hill is regarded as one of the most desirable and expensive neighborhoods in Boston. The Beacon Hill area is located just north of the Boston Common and the Boston Public Garden and is bounded generally by Beacon Street on the south, Somerset Street on the east, Cambridge Street to the north and Storrow Drive along the riverfront of the Charles River Esplanade to the west. The block bounded by Beacon, Tremont and Park Streets is included as well, as is the Boston Common itself. The level section of the neighborhood west of Charles Street, on landfill, is known locally as the "Flat of the Hill." Because the Massachusetts State House is in a prominent location at the top of the hill, the term "Beacon Hill" is also often used as a metonym in the local news media to refer to the state government or the legislature. #30 of 30 Things To Do in Boston Boston Tea Party Ship Boston MA ~0.62 miles from Boston city center Hotels Close to Boston Tea Party Ship
