Formed when two Victorian townhouses were razed in the 1970s, Hiscock Park is located in Boston’s South End neighborhood. After the demolition of the two buildings, neighbors and the Boston Parks Department worked to create a desperately needed urban park. After 30 years, major renovations were needed, including brick walkways, plantings, lighting, seating, and historically appropriate fencing. The park works to preserve the overall architectural integrity of the neighborhood, which is the largest collection of Victorian row houses in the country.
