Mid Dorchester - Boston,
Massachusetts
Dorchester is Boston's largest
neighborhood and also its oldest, founded a few months before the
city itself. The neighborhood's historical diversity is exhibited in
its architecture, from the old Victorian homes of wealthy Bostonians
to the multi-family dwellings of later groups of immigrants. Today,
Dorchester retains its diversity. Its main thoroughfare, Dorchester
Avenue, connects many close-knit neighborhoods and thriving
commercial districts of all kinds. Dorchester is also home to the
University of Massachusetts at Boston and the John F. Kennedy
Library.
