Touring the Boston-Edison Historic District

If you enjoy history and historic architecture, the Historic Boston-Edison Association's archivist, Jerald A. Mitchell, has created a pair of self-guided tours of the neighborhood. Tours are linked to below; in addition, printable versions can be downloaded and printed out, ready for your next visit to the neighborhood.


Driving Tour

The driving tour of the Boston-Edison neighborhood guides you past residences of some of the historically significant people who have made Boston-Edison their home. The tour is split into two loops: a three-and-a-half mile loop through the eastern portion of the neighborhood, between Woodward Avenue and the Lodge Freeway, and a six-mile loop through the western portion, between the Lodge Freeway and Linwood Avenue.

Walking Tour

The walking tour of the Boston-Edison neighborhood focuses on the homes of some of Boston-Edison's most historically prominent residents and those that have significant and unique architectural styles. The tour runs a little over two miles from start to finish through the eastern portion of the neighborhood, between Woodward Avenue and the Lodge Freeway.

Holiday Home Tour

The Historic Boston-Edison Association sponsors a Holiday Home Tour in December of every year as a fundraising event. Five homes, decorated for the Holidays, are open. This Tour is a chance for you to view the fine exterior and interior residential architecture of the early 1900's up close.
