Once famed for public hangings and Redcoat army camps, Boston Common is now occupied by relaxing park lovers. Summer sees children splash happy at the Frog Pond. Winter brings out the ice-skaters.
This pavilion was constructed 1824–1826 & named in honor of Mayor Josiah Quincy, who organized the construction without any tax or debt. It stretches 365 feet & led to the opening of six new streets.
