Boston #4 - Downtown

 We caught this reflection of our tour boat while passing under a bridge.
Longfellow Bridge - my favorite bridge in the Boston area
 The Museum of Science - I wish that we'd had time to visit this while we were in Boston.
 Also at the Museum of Science - what a cool place to have a wedding?

 Window detail at the Boston Public Library

Boston had the first paid fire department, started in 1678. This station was opened in 1888 and has been in use ever since. 
Engine 33 Ladder 15 -  visit this site to see pictures of the firehouse over time. 


The Boston subway opened in 1897, about 30 years after London opened its subway system.
