Fenway Park, 24 Yawkey Way Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. The Point, Boston A petition for Landmark Status has been filed for Fenway Park, home stadium of the Boston Red Sox baseball team since 1912. In January 2012, a National Register nomination for the stadium was approved by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) and in March 2012 final approval by the National Register office of the National Park Service was granted. Fenway Park is the major league's second oldest stadium, and it’s only remaining single-deck stadium. The original Tapestry Brick style entrance facade and stadium perimeter remain. For several years, Red Sox officials have been rehabilitating Fenway Park and sprucing up its environs. The park now has a grand entrance at Gate E, the approach encountered first by most fans on their way to the park. Additionally, the Red Sox officials have installed new cherry trees and historic period street lamps on Lansdowne Street. Olmsted Park System The Olmsted Park System National Register Historic District, also known as the Emerald Necklace, is located largely to the south and west of the Project Site. This large linear district is comprised of Park Drive, the Back Bay Fens, Muddy River, Olmsted (Leveret) Park, Jamaica Pond, and the Arborway. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on December 8, 1971 and is listed in the State Register of Historic Places. The Back Bay Fens was designated as a Boston Landmark on November 1, 1983. The park is a notable work of Frederick Law Olmsted Sr., whose work influenced the physical development of Boston and other important cities and regions. Olmsted’s seven-mile long park system, designed and constructed between 1878 and 1895, is the first and most historically significant urban park system in the country. Notable in the park are elements of landscape design embodying distinctive characteristics of late 19th century park planning and implementation. Seventh Day Adventists Church (formerly Church of the Disciples), 105 Jersey Street This church meets the criteria for both National Register listing and Boston Landmark designation as an architecturally significant example of early 20th century Classical Revival design. Completed in 1905 by Harvard University Club architect James Purdon, the red brick, white cast stone and marble faced edifice is one of the oldest structures in the West Fens. William McKinley Preparatory High School (a/k/a Martin Milmore School), 85 Peterborough Street Recommended by the Boston Landmarks Commission for further study, this school is a notable example of Georgian Revival institutional design (by George E. Robinson, architect) in 1929. It is named for mid-late 19th century Boston area sculptor Martin Milmore. \\MABOS\projects\11381.00\reports\Article80\ Expanded_PNF\06_Historic_FINAL.doc 6-4 Historic Resources
Audubon Circle Area Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. The Point, Boston The Audubon Circle area has a collection of well-designed residential buildings dating from 1888 to c.1915 representing an extension of the fashionable Back Bay residential district into Brookline. Beacon Street and Audubon Circle, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, are built up with substantial single family row houses, three-family houses and larger apartment complexes, among which are several S.D. Kelly groups of Queen Anne/Romanesque row house (1888-95), the Renaissance Revival 875 Beacon Street (1895); W.L. Morrison's Jacobethan 899-909 Beacon Sheet and 6-16 Keswick Street (1901); Kilham and Hopkins' Baronial three-family house (1905) and Audubon Court Apartments (1915); Benjamin Fox's Romanesque/Georgian Revival Strathcona Terrace and Audubon Terrace (1903); the Beaux Arts - Jacobethan Inverness (1898); and the Ralph Adams Cram Ruggles Church (1914) designed in the Georgian Revival style. 1 The area was recommended eligible for the National Register in 1983, but there is no official MHC opinion regarding its eligibility on file. Park Drive Area The Park Drive area follows Park Drive between Queensberry Street and Kilmarnock Street. This contiguous collection of town houses and large apartment buildings facing the Back Bay Fens represents the highest quality designs in the West Fens during the period 1899-1930. These include Charles Cummings' Georgian Revival Robert Treat Paine, Jr. House (1899); Theodore M. Clark's Mansard/ Queen Anne/Georgian Revival 107 Park Drive (1903); George N. Jacobs' 61-69 Park Drive (1921); and Brown and Hienan's 111 and 125-143 Park Drive (1922). The area was recommended for inclusion in a Park Drive National Register and Architectural Conservation District in 1983 in the Boston Landmarks Commission survey. Emmanuel College Main Building, 400 The Fenway This building meets Boston Landmarks Commission criteria for both National Register listing and Boston Landmark designation as an intact, noteworthy example of Modern Gothic academic design. Designed by Maginnis and Walsh, a noted Boston architectural firm, this red-brick structure with a distinctive bell tower serves as a significant visual landmark along the Fenway. Originally the Convent and Academy of Notre Dame, this building was completed in 1916. Existing Archaeological Resources Given the extensive and dense urban development that has occurred in the project area over many years, it is unlikely that the Project Site would yield any significant archaeological resources. Thus, there is little potential for the disturbance of significant archaeological resources. Review of MHC records did not reveal any known archaeological resources on the site or in the immediate vicinity. 1 Olmsted Plaza Associates, DPIR/DEIR Olmsted Plaza, September 1989. \\MABOS\projects\11381.00\reports\Article80\ Expanded_PNF\06_Historic_FINAL.doc 6-5 Historic Resources
