The view looks out from Arlington Street across the Public Garden toward Boston Common, two green spaces that sit side by side at the edge of the city's downtown. The Public Garden was laid out in the 1860s as the first public botanic garden in the United States, and its winding paths, ponds and ornamental plantings were a deliberate contrast to the older, more open Common beyond. Views like this one from the 1800s show how the district looked before the surrounding blocks filled in with the brownstones and offices that stand there today.
