This fall, we'll be back in Boston's South End for another architectural walking tour with David Hacin, FAIA and Principal at Hacin.
About this Event

Join us on Thursday, October 9 from 3–5pm ET for a guided architectural walking tour of Boston's South End.

Join Hacin President and Creative Director, David Hacin, FAIA, on a walking tour through his home neighborhood that will highlight classic South End moments such as the bow-front townhouses of Union Park and the vibrant thoroughfare of Tremont Street, as well as the up and coming SoWa Art and Design District (with nods to the firm’s various projects from the past three decades along the way). The tour will last approximately two hours with a networking session at Tatte on Harrison Avenue to start and ending at the Boston Center for the Arts.

The South End has a long history of reinventing itself. Comprised of mostly marshland during the time of Boston’s founding, the neighborhood was filled in in the mid-1800s and was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Most recently, its transformation in the last thirty years has changed it from a neighborhood trapped in a frustrating cycle of neglect and disinvestment to one of the most vibrant and beloved parts of Boston, with a resonant architectural character and an effective process of incremental urbanism.

Architecture and design firm Hacin has long called the South End its home and the firm’s extensive body of work in the neighborhood includes townhouses and historic renovations, restaurants, a public park, a community garden, hundreds of housing units across the spectrum of affordable and luxury, and a non-profit headquarters. Over the studio’s thirty-year history, Hacin has demonstrated a commitment to the community and has been grateful to play a part in the area’s current success.
