Index. Cover has a mild curve up at the front edge. Introduction by Walter Muir Whitehill. Previous owner's name in ink inside front cover. This work covers the Waterfront to the Fenway Beacon Hill to Roxbury and the Back Bay to Cambridge. The Boston Society of Architects is one of the oldest and largest chapters of the AIA. The Boston Society of Architects BSA is a nonprofit membership organization committed to architecture design and the built environment. On June 20 1867 approximately 50 architects convened in the City of Boston to sign the articles of association for the Boston Society of Architects. Since this time the BSA has grown to approximately 4000 members. The BSA became the eastern Massachusetts regional association of the AIA in 1870. It has sister chapters in Central Massachusetts and Western Massachusetts. The membership of the BSA supports ArchitectureBoston Magazine an ideas-focused publication edited by Boston Globe columnist Renée Loth; and BSA Space a gallery for public architecture and design-related exhibitions. They convene annually at the Architecture Boston Expo convention. The BSA promotes and enhances the practice of architecture and design through such programs as building-industry conventions Build Boston and Residential Design and Construction skills training design lectures job and college fairs ARE study groups Common Boston Week and more. ArchitectureBoston is the BSA's ideas magazine. The Boston Society of Architects has brought the centuries together with words and pictures in a unique publication. Invaluable to the more-than-casual visitor and indispensable to the serious student of architecture it is a lively resource for community advocates seeking to understand and improve their neighborhoods. From Beacon Hill "a brick Acropolis for the Athens of America" to the tantalizing mix of the historic and the avant garde that is Cambridge the ideas and events of the past can be read in today's treasury of '"build form." Long known as a city with wall-to-wall history Boston has invested its elderly structure with new and relevant uses while adding new building that respect much of what has gone before. Walter Muir Whitehill 1905 - 1978 was an American writer historian medievalist and the Director and Librarian of the Boston Athenaeum from 1946 to 1973. He was also editor for publications of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts from 1946 to 1978. From 1951 to 1972 Whitehill was a professor at Harvard University. Whitehill received his AB and AM degrees from Harvard in 1926 and 1929. Shortly after this he married Jane Revere Coolidge a descendant of Thomas Jefferson and eldest daughter of Julian Coolidge. He then went to England where he received a Ph.D. from the University of London. In 1932 he did in Santiago de Compostela the first full transcription of the medieval Codex Calixtinus. Whitehill was selected to deliver an important televised address about the history and development of Boston on the occasion of the Bicentennial Celebration of the United States. On July 11 1976 he spoke at the Old State House in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II the Mayor of Boston the Governor of Massachusetts and a large audience. The text of his address was printed in a publication by the Bostonian Society which operates the Old State House on behalf of the National Park Service. He delivered the commencement address in 1974 at the College of William and Mary. Although Whitehill's publishing career focused on Bostoniana his significant work on Spanish medieval topics represented the first American interest in the subject. Barre Publishing paperback

192910268Boston: various 1929. Archive. One medium-sized file box containing approximately six hundred twenty-five items including: commercial brochures 121 samples 11 posters 3 typed letters signed/TLS 304 autograph letters signed/ALS 149 postcards & telegrams 29 and periodicals 5. The commercial or trade brochures are mostly small booklets bi-folds and tri-folds graphically illustrated with images of the equipment on offer and frequently printed in two colors or in duotone. A small but deeply engaging archive depicting the business activities of the Boston Massachusetts kitchen equipment supply firm W.H. Davenhall. The supply company serviced businesses with food production and serving needs far beyond the traditional restaurants and hotels. There are in fact few of those represented therein. The company's stock in trade seemed to have been the many "secondary" food establishments growing in number in the early twentieth century including soda fountains candy shops tea rooms diners cafeterias educational dining facilities gas stations with food offerings cafes lunch shops beauty parlors fraternity houses and military bases. The types of equipment depicted in the archive represents changes in food production for a population rapidly moving away from traditional home dining and increasingly consuming food in new types of establishments. The rapid economic expansion that made all this change possible came to a halt with the Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression. The archive illustrates the experience of a small business in the years leading up to the Crash with issues collecting debts bankruptcy of suppliers and clients etc. The correspondence includes offers of new equipment or supplies often the line between brochure and correspondence is blurred orders inquiries demands for payments complaints requests for new supplier arrangements bankruptcy notices of former customers and more. In addition to the typed and handwritten letters there are postcards and telegrams. A handful of label samples and posters are included as well. Finally there are materials produced by trade periodicals including: Institutional Merchandising Hot Off the Griddle published by Westinghouse American Restaurant Magazine and The Soda Fountain. A wide range of business topics is visible in this archive: bill collection disputes about what was delivered or when disputes about salesmen adding items to an order bankruptcy of a client price changes a UNH fraternity orders a half dozen aluminum pitchers surprised complicated returns of defective merchandise development of school cafeterias the Crash of '29 deliveries abandoned or rejected and more. Condition is generally very good or better. A more detailed description including complete lists of suppliers and clients is available by request. various unknown

1977812j1280USA: Columbia Pictures Publications. Poor. 1977. First Edition. Paperback. Songbook for Boston's smash-hit debut album "released by Epic in August 1976. It broke sales records becoming the best-selling debut LP in the US at the time and winning the Recording Industry of America RIAA Century Award for the best-selling debut album. PLEASE NOTE: The binding is letting go and the first several pages are loose but present. Rather than adding a new binding we have opted to preserve this Boston memento in its original state as this incredible album was and remains such a massive and beloved musical influence and memory for so many. The album's singles "More Than a Feeling" "Peace of Mind" and "Foreplay/Long Time" were major hits and nearly the entire album receives constant airplay on classic rock radio. The album is often regarded as a staple of 1970s rock and has been included on many lists of essential albums. It has sold at least 17 million copies in the United States alone and at least 20 million worldwide making it one of the best-selling debut albums of all time." - Wikipedia.
