The Boston Edison Historic District consists of over 900 houses, no two of which are alike; each was custom designed and provides an unique interpretation of its chosen style. Styles including English Revival (Cottage, Tudor, Renaissance), Roman and Greek Revival, French Provincial, Colonial Revival (Georgian and Dutch), Italian Renaissance, Prairie and Vernacular are found here. The majority of houses were constructed between 1905 and 1925, and each home reflects the high level of craftsmanship and quality of building materials typical of the time.
This highly popular tour will walk you through the district with a guide knowledgeable about both the history and architecture contained on these streets.
