Charlestown's Historic Residential Streets
Charlestown is the oldest neighborhood in Boston, settled on a peninsula north of the Charles River before the founding of Boston itself. The neighborhood is home to two major stops on the Freedom Trail: Bunker Hill Monument, a granite obelisk commemorating the Revolutionary War battle on Breed's Hill, and the Charlestown Navy Yard, one of the oldest naval shipyards in the country. The neighborhood connects to the North End and downtown Boston via the Charlestown Bridge, and to Somerville and the broader metro via the MBTA Orange Line at Community College and Sullivan Square stations. City Square Park provides green space near the commercial heart of Main Street.
Charlestown Historic Homes — Gas Lamps and Federal Style
Historic condos and homes in Charlestown are concentrated in the gaslight district along Main Street and Monument Avenue, where Federal and Greek Revival townhouses with original brick facades have been subdivided and converted while retaining period architectural details. The USS Constitution, the Navy's oldest commissioned warship still in active service, remains berthed at the Navy Yard and is open for public tours. Warren Tavern on Main Street is one of Massachusetts's oldest continuously operating taverns, dating to the late 18th century. Gas lamps throughout the historic district reinforce the neighborhood's preserved 19th-century streetscape, which remains largely intact within the protected residential area.
