Boston - Louisburg Square

Louisburg Square is a private square located in the posh Beacon Hill neighborhood. It was named for the battle of Louisburg, in which Massachusetts Militiamen sacked the French Fortress in 1745. The Greek Revival houses around the square reflect the rarefied privilege enjoyed by the 19th century upper class in Beacon Hill. Author Louisa May Alcott lived here from 1880 to 1888.
