Usually, we have a trip on Friday. Last Friday we had Black Heritage Trail, is similar to Freedom Trail. First, we got start at Ruggles to take subway. When we arrived outside of station at downtown crossing, the weather was very hot. We had ten spots to visit, including Robert Gould Shaw and 54th Regiment Memorial, George Middleton House, The Phillips School, John J. Smith House, Charles Street Meeting House, Lewis and Harriet Hayden House, John Cobum House, Smith Court Residences, Abiel Smith School and The African Meeting House.
Through the Boston Common, we walked into the trail. To my surprise, there were plenty of houses arranged in the both sides of street. Designs of Some of these houses were very beautiful, and looked very neat and comfortable. When we walked through houses, I felt environment is natural and made me relax.
Moreover, I am very pleasant to present The Phillips School. It was built between 1823 and 1825. The architecture of this building is typical of 19th century Boston schools. Ironically, when Boston schools were finally integrated in 1855 by an act of the Massachusetts legislature, the Phillips School became one of the first integrated public schools in Boston.
