Louisburg Square

Louisburg Square is a historic residential street located on Beacon Hill in Boston, Massachusetts. Designed by architect Charles Bulfinch, it is part of a handsome residential district that transformed the urban landscape in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The area, protected by historic district legislation, features houses by Bulfinch and other prominent architects of the era. The development of Louisburg Square and its surroundings was part of a larger postcolonial expansion in Boston, where hills were leveled and land was created through landfill to accommodate a growing population and demand for space.12
