Louisburg Square


The square is very much apart of the city but the open green space in the center of the neighborhood really allows you to disconnect with typical city living. It brings a sense of suburban life in context with the sky scrapers and traffic a few streets away.






The garden area in the middle of the square is not accesable from the street as there is a gate around it. The gate arond the garden, brick walkway and buildings, stone street really set the sqaure in time and show its roots while still expressing the new century with automobiles and electric street lamps.


















Louisburg Square s a private square located in the Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts neighborhood of Boston. It was named for the 1745 Battle of Louisburg, in which Massachusetts Militiamen sacked the French Fortress located on the site. The Greek Revival houses around the square reflect the rarefied privilege enjoyed by the 19th century upper class in Beacon Hill. Currently it is the most expensive residential neighborhood in the country. U.S. Senator John Forbes Kerry owns a townhouse on Louisburg Square.

Kayle, thank you for posting your Blog.

Your photos are very accurate and precise.
The sketches need to improve. One thing would be to lower the contrast between the trees and the background. Take more time to draw the trees in detail and take into account the direction of the shadow
