- Harbor Towers - The Brutalist-style Harbor Towers are impossible to miss. Brutalism was a popular architectural style in the 1970s, and today it divides opinions. Some find a unique beauty in the stark, imposing structures, while others see them as simply unattractive. The tour will explore the towers, Boston’s balance between affordable and luxury living, and one of the city’s most ambitious projects: cleaning up the harbor.
- Rowes Wharf - The journey leads to Rowe’s Wharf, named after one of the tea smugglers who inspired the “Tea Party.” Participants will learn about John Rowe and his legal escapades as they walk through.

By standing in the center of the archway and looking straight up, participants can see through the top of the dome to the glass cupola above.
