In 1973, the South End neighborhood was placed on the National Register of Historic Places [2] as the largest extant Victorian rowhouse district in the United States. In 1983, the district achieved designation as a Boston Landmark District, by the Boston Landmarks Commission, bringing with it legal protection and public review of alterations to buildings within the district.
Since 1974, the organization has been headquartered at the Francis Dane House located at 532 Massachusetts Avenue in the South End. [3]
Over the course of its existence, the SEHS has worked to retain and restore architectural integrity of the South End. The SEHS supports research, conservation, and education to protect and promote interest in the local historic buildings, monuments, and public squares of the South End.
