"This delightful book,
now in its second edition, gives the full history, with all the tassels
twirling, the sailors swooning, the beer halls filled with guzzlers, and
so on. A really fine book about... the Boston that's gone."
David Brudnoy, WBZ radio, Boston |

Even more pages: Thanks to the generosity of the people who lived,
worked, and played in Scollay Square - as well as some lucky bidding on
eBay - there's so much more information to share with you, including a
page devoted to Boston Post cartoonist
Francis Dahl's
take on Scollay Square, one on
Adams Square, a
page of
Fred Allen's memories of Scollay Square
and the Old Howard, and another on the demolition of the nearby
Hotel
Madison. You'll also find pages on the
1987
renaming ceremony, an
art/architecture project in
Scollay Square, an 1898 magazine article on the
building
of the Boston's subway and another where you can read
excerpts
from the books as well as view the
errata.
Additionally, there is a page about the author's popular
slide
lectures, which includes not one but two on Scollay Square. Finally,
there is a page of
used
books for sale by the author.
