...are protected by restrictive regulations that allow no changes to any outside visible part of a structure without the approval of the Boston Architectural Commission.

Approximately one-half mile square, Beacon Hill is bounded by Beacon Street, Bowdoin Street, Cambridge Street and Storrow Drive. The "Hill" is known for its beautiful doors, brass door knockers, decorative iron work, brick sidewalks, gas lights, flowering pear trees, window boxes, and hidden gardens. Beacon Hill Real Estate consists of mostly brick row houses, includes the Federal, Greek revival and Victorian periods, as well as early 20th-century colonial revival homes and tenements. Charles Street is the neighborhood's main street and is filled with over 40 antique shops, home decorating, specialty food shops and many good restaurants. The Massachusetts State House is at the top of the Hill overlooking the Boston Common.

All one needs on Beacon Hill is within walking distance. Charles and Cambridge Streets are Beacon Hill's commercial streets. Massachusetts General Hospital is located at the north end of Charles Street and is regarded by many as the best hospital in the world. Cambridge Street offers everything as well as two gas stations and a supermarket.
