Mount Vernon Street houses, Beacon Hill, Boston

Courtly, colonial redbrick homes run the length of charming Mount Vernon Street, a tree-lined street on Boston's upper-crust Beacon Hill. This photo was taken just a bit east of where Mount Vernon Street (which has been home to Julia Ward Howe, Charles Bulfinch, and Daniel Webster, among other luminaries) passes exclusive Louisburg Square, and just up the hill from Charles Street and DeLuca's Market.
