'''''All the Way''''' is a play by [[Robert Schenkkan]], depicting President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]'s efforts to maneuver members of the [[88th United States Congress]] to enact, and civil rights leaders including [[Martin Luther King, Jr.]] to support, the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]]. The play takes its name from [[United States presidential election, 1964|Johnson's 1964 campaign]] slogan, "All the Way with LBJ."<ref name="Observer">{{cite news | url=http://observer.com/2014/03/and-the-prize-goes-to-the-puppet-all-the-way-is-riveting-and-the-directorial-vision-behind-antony-and-cleopatra-is-brilliant/ | title=And the Prize Goes to the Puppet: ‘All the Way’ Is Riveting, and the Directorial Vision Behind ‘Antony and Cleopatra’ Is Brilliant | work=New York Observer | date=March 11, 2014 | accessdate=March 15, 2014 | last=Oxfeld |first=Jesse}}</ref>

==Synopsis==
[[File:CivilRightsAct1964-HouseRollCall-HR7152.jpg|thumb|upright|left|House roll call for the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]]]]
The play opens shortly after the [[assassination of John F. Kennedy]] on November 22, 1963. and continues through Johnson's landslide reelection on November 3, 1964. In his first year as president, Johnson engineers passage of [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]]. Johnson has Senator [[Hubert Humphrey]] of Minnesota reach out to liberal congressmen and civil rights groups, while Johnson personally deals with Southern congressmen, who are deeply opposed to the legislation. At the end of Act One, the civil rights act passes the Senate, using cajolery, arm-twisting and blackmail to get his way. Johnson himself is from the south, and he is close to the recalcitrant southern congressmen, and he uses homespun and sometimes off-color stories to persuade them.<ref name="Observer"/><ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/> A reviewer noted that "Johnson seems just to be shooting the breeze when really he’s riding herd on friend and foe alike in anxious pursuit of his goals." Throughout, the play makes copious reference to congressional terminology unusual in Broadway plays, such as "[[cloture]]" and "[[filibuster]]," which are mechanisms used to extract bills from committee, .<ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/>

Johnson is portrayed as emotionally needy and vulnerable, even as he rides roughshod over other people such as his wife, [[Lady Bird Johnson]], and his longtime aide [[Walter Jenkins]], who he abandons after he is arrested on a morals charge. He is disdainful of Humphrey, and promises the vice-presidency to him in the 1964 elections if he goes along with Johnson.<ref name="Observer"/><ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/>

Johnson engages in spirited conversations with Sen. [[Richard Russell, Jr.|Richard Russell]] of Georgia, who strongly opposes the legislation but finds that his ability to stop the bill has ebbed because of Johnson's tactics.<ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/>

On the other side, Dr. [[Martin Luther King Jr.]] must contend with more conservative leaders such as [[Roy Wilkins]] who oppose civil rights marches and militant leaders like [[Stokely Carmichael]], who favor strong action. The more activist leaders prevail, and launch the "[[Freedom Summer]]," in which young college students ride buses into the south to desegregate facilities. Three [[Freedom Rider]]<nowiki/>s, [[Michael Schwerner]], [[Andrew Goodman]] and [[James Chaney]], are slain, forcing Johnson to send in the FBI and further inflaming emotions. [[J. Edgar Hoover]] is shown eavesdropping on Dr. King.<ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/>

In the second act, the action shifts to [[Atlantic City, New Jersey]], where a battle is brewing at the [[1964 Democratic Convention|1964 Democratic National Convention]]. The segregated Mississippi delegation is challenged by the integrated [[Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party]].<ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/>

==Themes==
Schenkkan describes ''All the Way'' as a play about "the morality of politics and power. Where do you draw the line in terms of intentions and action. How much leeway does a good intention give you to violate the law?".<ref name="Artery">{{cite web|last=Siegel|first=Ed|title='All The Way With LBJ - Did He Break Bad, Too?|url=http://artery.wbur.org/2013/09/09/lbj-schenkkan|publisher=The Artery|accessdate=14 March 2014}}</ref>

The play's set is a semi-circular dais surrounding the central portion of the stage. The ''[[New York Observer]]'' said that the surrounding seats "serve as Congressional hearing rooms, and as spots for ever-present observers to sit and watch, but mostly they render the stage a coliseum, with everything that happens a battle, or maybe a courtroom: L.B.J. is always on trial."<ref name="Observer"/>

Unlike previous dramatic depictions of Johnson, such as [[Barbara Garson]]'s satirical 1967 play ''[[MacBird!]]'', Johnson is portrayed sympathetically. Writing in ''[[The New York Times]]'', [[Sam Tanenhaus]] said that ''All the Way'' portrays Johnson "as something far more interesting and even inspiring: the last and perhaps greatest of all legislative presidents, with his wizardly grip on the levers of governance at a time when it was still possible for deals to be brokered and favors swapped and for combatants to clash in an atmosphere of respect, if not smiling concord."<ref name="Tanenhaus">{{cite news | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/09/theater/bryan-cranston-is-playing-lyndon-johnson-on-broadway.html | title=Presidential Chemistry: Bryan Cranston Is Playing Lyndon Johnson on Broadway | work=The New York Times | date=February 5, 2014 | accessdate=14 March 2014 | last=Tanenhaus | first=Sam}}</ref>

==Broadway production==
In preparing for the role, Cranston sought to meet [[Robert Caro]], author of a multipart biography of Johnson (''[[The Years of Lyndon Johnson]]''). But Caro refused, telling ''The New York Times'': "I didn’t want to see someone playing Lyndon Johnson or talk to the actor playing him because I was afraid that image would become blurred for me. The better the actor the more danger there would be that that would happen.”<ref name="Caro">{{cite news | url=http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/10/robert-caro-l-b-j-and-all-the-way/ | title=Robert Caro, L.B.J. and ‘All The Way’ | work=The New York Times | date=February 10, 2014 | accessdate=March 15, 2014 | last=Tanenhaus | first=Sam}}</ref>

==Critical reception==
The Broadway production received generally favorable reviews, with Bryan Cranston's performance singled out for praise.

Writing in ''[[The New York Times]]'', [[Charles Isherwood]] called ''All the Way'' a "dense but mostly absorbing drama, set during the tense first year of Johnson’s presidency following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy." Isherwood praised Cranston as Johnson, saying his "heat-generating performance galvanizes the production. Even when Johnson is offstage or the writing sags with exposition, the show, directed solidly by Bill Rauch, retains the vitalizing imprint of his performance." Other characters such as Hoover and [[George Wallace]] are "merely sketched in," and the play "sorely needs streamlining."<ref name="Isherwood-Broadway">{{cite news | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/07/theater/bryan-cranston-as-president-johnson-in-all-the-way.html | title=Washington Power Play: Bryan Cranston as President Johnson in ‘All the Way’ | work=The New York Times | date=March 6, 2014 | accessdate=14 March 2014 | author=Isherwood, Christopher}}</ref> In his review of the American Repertory Theater production, also starring Cranston, Isherwood said the play "ultimately accrues minimal dramatic momentum."<ref name="Isherwood-ART">{{cite news | url= http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/26/theater/reviews/all-the-way-stars-bryan-cranston-as-lyndon-b-johnson.html | title=An Arm-Twister in the Oval Office: ‘All the Way’ Stars Bryan Cranston as Lyndon B. Johnson | work=The New York Times | date=September 25, 2013 | accessdate=March 15, 2014 | author=Isherwood, Charles}}</ref>

The Broadway production was called "juicy" by the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'', which said that Cranston "offers up a restless, hypnotically intense physicality coupled with an intimately forged vulnerability." It said that the lead actor "does not disappoint for a moment, driving the show with a truly riveting life-force and, it seems, painting every up and down in this insecure but notably self-aware president's life on his visage, which he seems to pull and stretch in limitless directions.

'''Solund''' is a [[List of municipalities of Norway|municipality]] in the [[Counties of Norway|county]] of [[Sogn og Fjordane]], [[Norway]]. It is located in the [[Districts of Norway|traditional district]] of [[Sogn]]. Solund is the westernmost island municipality in Norway, and the only municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county that is made up only of islands. [[Holmebåen]] on the island of Steinsøy is the westernmost point in all of [[Norway]].

The population today is around 840, with most people living on the main islands of [[Sula, Sogn og Fjordane|Sula]] and [[Ytre Sula (Sogn og Fjordane)|Ytre Sula]]. The [[administrative centre]] of Solund is the village of [[Hardbakke]] on Sula island. Some other villages in Solund include [[Kolgrov]] on Ytre Sula, [[Hersvikbygda]] on Sula, and [[Losnegard]] on [[Losna (island)|Losna]].

==General information==
[[File:Gulen map nature preserves.jpg|thumb|left|Map of Solund and surrounding areas]]
[[File:Solund 01.jpg|thumb|left|Aerial view of the islands]]
''Utvær'' was established as a [[List of municipalities of Norway|municipality]] in 1858. The two sub-parishes, or ''sokn'', of Solund and Husøy were separated from the [[Gulen]] [[Church of Norway|parish]] ''([[prestegjeld]])'' to form the new municipality and parish of ''Utvær'' at that time. The initial population of Utvær was 1,384.

It reaches the sea at [[Connel]], 5 km north of [[Oban]]. It measures 31.6 km (19{{fraction|3|4}} miles) long and from 1.2 km (3/4 mile) to {{convert|1.6|km|mi|abbr=on}} wide. Its depths vary greatly to 600 foot (200m)

The name Etive is believed to mean ''little ugly one'' from the [[Scottish Gaelic language|Gaelic]] [[Goddess]] associated with the loch. It heads east for half its length alongside the [[A85 road|main road]] and [[railway|rail]] link to Oban, before heading northeast into [[mountain]]ous terrain. A road along [[Glen Etive]] makes the head of the loch accessible from [[Glen Coe]]. The narrow mouth of the loch results in its most unusual feature, the [[Falls of Lora]]. Part of the north bank has been designated a ''[[Special Area of Conservation]]'' in particular due to old [[sessile oak]] woods. Surprisingly, a small colony of around 20 [[Common Seal|common seal]]s is resident in Loch Etive.

Just seaward of the mouth of the loch is [[Dunstaffnage Castle]]. This was a stronghold of the kingdom of [[Dál Riata]] until the 9th century, and possibly its centre at one time. It is believed to have held the [[Stone of Destiny]] before its transfer to [[Scone Palace]]. The current ruins date from 1275. Cruises up Loch Etive followed by carriage trip to Glen Coe were started in 1881 as Oban developed as a fashionable resort.

[[Connel Bridge]], an impressive [[cantilever bridge]] at the Falls of Lora, has an interesting history. Built in 1903 for the Connel-[[Ballachulish]] railway, a [[Railcar|rail-bus]] ferried foot-passengers across from 1909 until 1914 when the bridge was converted to allow for rail, road or passenger traffic (on the same track). Since the line closed in 1966, the bridge has been solely for road traffic.

In the parish of [[Ardchattan]], on the north shore, stands the beautiful ruin of [[St. Modan's Priory]], founded in the 13th century for [[Cistercian]] monks of the [[Valliscaulian Order]]. It is said that Robert Bruce held within its walls the last parliament in which the [[Gaelic language]] was used. On the coast of [[Loch Nell]], or [[Ardmucknish Bay]], is the vitrified fort of [[Beregonium]], not to be confounded with [[Rerigonium]] (sometimes miscalled Berigonium) on [[Loch Ryan]] in [[Wigtownshire]] town of the ancient [[Novantae]] tribe, identified with [[Innermessan]]. The confusion has arisen through a textual error in an early edition of [[Ptolemy]]'s ''Geography''.

== Other Usage ==
Loch Etive is also the name of an Iron Clipper Ship that [[Joseph Conrad]] served aboard<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joseph_Conrad&pe=1&#Second_mate</ref>.

'''Mission Hill''' is a 3/4 square mile[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=117936476199750036545.00000111c2561cd8c4ef4&ll=42.332471,-71.094933&spn=0.02519,0.079823&z=14&om=1] neighborhood of approximately 18,000 people in [[Boston, Massachusetts]].

The neighborhood is roughly bounded by Columbus Avenue and the Boston neighborhood of [[Roxbury, Massachusetts|Roxbury]] to the east, Longwood Avenue to the northeast and the [[Frederick Law Olmsted|Olmsted]] designed [[The Riverway|Riverway]]/[[The Jamaicaway|Jamaicaway]] and the town of [[Brookline, Massachusetts|Brookline]] to the west. It is northernly adjacent to the Boston neighborhood [[Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts|Jamaica Plain]]. It is served by the [[MBTA]] Green Line E Branch and the Orange Line and is within walking distance of the [[Museum of Fine Arts, Boston|Museum of Fine Arts]]. "The Hill" overlaps with about half of the [[Longwood Medical and Academic Area]], home to 21 world-class health care, research, education institutions and are responsible for the largest employment area in the City of Boston outside of downtown. Due to these adjacencies, the neighborhood is often struggling with institutional growth taking residential buildings and occupying storefront commercial space. But recent years have seen new retail stores, restaurants and residential development giving the neighborhood a stronger political voice and identity.

Mission Hill is an architectural landmark district with a combination of freestanding houses built by early wealthy landowners, blocks of traditional brick rowhouses, and many [[Triple decker]]. Many are [[condominium]]s, but there are also several two-family and some single-family homes.

The neighborhood was named in March 2008 as one of "25 Best Zip Codes in Massachusetts" by the [[The Boston Globe|Boston Globe]], citing increased value in single-family homes, plentiful restaurants and shopping, a marked racial diversity and that 65% of residents walk, bike or take transit to work.[http://www.boston.com/realestate/news/articles/2008/03/16/the_best_zip_codes/]

[[File:Mission Hill view.jpg|thumb|300px|View of Mission Church and Boston skyline from near top of Mission Hill]]

==Geography==
The neighborhood has two main commercial streets: Tremont Street (running north and south) and [[Huntington Avenue (Boston)|Huntington Ave]]. (running east and west). Both have several small restaurants and shops. Mission Hill is at the far western end of Tremont Street, with [[Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts|Beacon Hill]] at the far eastern end. Mission Hill has two main ZIP Codes; the southern half is designated 02120 and the northern area is 02115. Additionally, a very small portion of the southeastern edge uses the code 02130 and two streets on the far western edge use 02215.

Parker Hill, Roxbury Crossing, the Triangle District, Back of The Hill and Calumet Square are areas within the Mission Hill, an official designated neighborhood in Boston (as attested by numerous signs prohibiting parking without a sticker which can be received only by residents).

[[Brigham Circle (MBTA station)|Brigham Circle]], located at the corner of Tremont and Huntington is the neighborhood's commercial center, with a grocery store (Stop & Shop), drug stores, bistros, banks and taverns. Additionally, two other smaller commercial areas are in the neighborhood: Roxbury Crossing and the corner of Huntington and South Huntington next to the Brookline line.

One block up the hill from Brigham Circle is Boston's newest park, Kevin W. Fitzgerald Park (formerly Puddingstone Park)<ref>[http://www.missionhillnhs.org/open_space.htm Mission Hils NHS. Puddingstone Park]</ref> <ref>[http://www.themissionchurchboston.com/ The Church's own web site]</ref> created when a new $60-million mixed use building was completed in 2002.

On Tremont Street is Mission Church (1878, Schickel and Ditmars, 1910 towers addition by [[Franz_Joseph_Untrsee|Franz Joseph Untersee]]),<ref>[http://www.themissionchurch.com The Mission Church]</ref> an [[eponym]]ous landmark building that dominates the skyline of the area. The church was chosen as the location for the funeral of [[Ted_Kennedy|Senator Edward M. Kennedy]] on Saturday, August 29th, 2009.

Also nearby is the newly restored Parker Hill Library,<ref>[http://www.bpl.org/branches/parker.htm Parker Hill Branch Library]</ref> the neighborhood branch of the Boston Public Library,<ref>[http://www.bpl.org Boston Public Library]</ref> and designed by architect [[Ralph Adams Cram]] in 1929. The city used eminent domain to acquire the land for both the library and the adjacent Mission Hill playground.

Atop the hill is [[New England Baptist Hospital]] and Parker Hill Playground, which extends from the hospital grounds down Parker Hill Avenue. Parker Hill Playground, originally proposed by then Boston Mayor [[James Curley]] in 1915, is also one of the highest points in the city where you can observe a panoramic view of [[Financial District, Boston, Massachusetts|downtown Boston]], [[Boston Harbor]], and the [[Blue Hills Reservation|Blue Hills]].

Always considered a part of Roxbury until a generation ago, Mission Hill is now most often regarded as a separate section of the city. However, neighborhood boundaries in Boston are inherently ambiguous and the subject of whether or not Mission Hill is adjacent to Roxbury or a remains a section thereof is still a subject of debate.<ref>Strong arguments for both viewpoints have been presented at [[Talk:Mission Hill, Boston, Massachusetts]]. Accompanying this discussion are links to internal sources indicating that other sections of Boston are also subjects of similar debate. Zip codes, electoral zoning, naming of police stations, parking stickers, and myriad other indicators of place have been brought forth as evidence for both sides of the argument. Ultimately, the neighborhoods of Boston have no consistent official status and the point may be moot.</ref>

==History==
Like the adjacent neighborhood of [[Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts|Jamaica Plain]] to the south, Mission Hill was once a neighborhood of adjacent [[Roxbury, Massachusetts|Roxbury]] prior to Roxbury's annexation by Boston. According to maps from the period, it was often referenced as Parker Hill (which is the name of the geographic feature in the area). After annexation (and more rapidly in recent years) the area slowly came to be considered a separate neighborhood of its own right. The majority of government, commercial and institutional entities list "Mission Hill" in the breakdown of Boston neighborhoods and its boundaries generally agreed upon.

Until the [[American Revolution]], Mission Hill supported large country estates of wealthy Boston families. Much of the area was an orchard farm, originally owned by the Parker family in the 18th century. Peter Parker married Sarah Ruggles, whose family owned large areas of land including most of what became known as Parker Hill (later renamed Mission Hill). His life ended when a barrel of his own cider fell on him. (Much of this story is outlined in "The History of Peter Parker and Sarah Ruggles", a book by John William Linzee, published in 1913.)

The orchard continued for some time thereafter, but gradually pieces of the land were sold and developed. Boston’s reservoir was once located at the top of the hill. Many of the older apple trees along Fisher Avenue and in an undeveloped area of the playground are probably descendants of the Parker family’s original trees. The lower portion of the eastern hill was a [[puddingstone]] [[quarry]] with large swaths owned by merchants [[Franklin G. Dexter]], [[Warren Fisher]] and [[Fredrick Ames]].

Maps of the area indicate Mission Hill development began prior to the Fenway and Longwood Medical Area. Huntington Avenue, now one the main connections to the rest of Boston, once stopped at the intersection of Parker Street, near the present-day site of the Museum of Fine Arts. Up until that time, Mission Hill was connected via Parker Street (a man-made raised passage between the Stony Brook and the Muddy River - both which formed a tidal flat into the Charles River) all the way to Boylston Street in the Back Bay. Part of what was once Parker Street is now called Hemenway Street. The once main intersection of Parker Street and Huntington Avenue has been traffic-engineered, cutting the straight-line road in two and forcing traffic to first turn onto Forsyth Way to make the connection. Many other streets leading into Mission Hill were also realigned and/or renamed at Huntington Avenue (including Longwood Avenue/McGreevey Way, Smith/Shattuck Street, Vancouver Street, and Palace Road/Worthington Street), limiting both pedestrian and vehicular access.

After the 1880s and the re-routing of the Muddy River by Frederick Law Olmsted, Huntington Avenue was joined from Parker Street to Brigham Circle, creating the Triangle District. (Maps from the time indicate that Huntington Avenue from Brigham Circle to the Brookline line was named Tremont Street.)
[[File:MissionChurchBoston.JPG|thumb|200px|Mission Church]]
Development began in earnest in the mid-19th century. In 1870, the [[Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer|Redemptorist Fathers]] built a humble wooden [[Mission (Christian)|mission church]] that was replaced by an impressive [[Roxbury puddingstone]] structure in 1876. In 1910, dual-spires were added that now dominate the skyline. The church was elevated to [[basilica]] in 1954 by [[Pope Pius XII]] and is one of only 43 in the United States. Officially named [[Our Lady of Perpetual Help]] after the [[icon]] of the same name, it is uniformly referred to as "Mission Church", even by its own [[parish]]ioners. Due to a sloping foundation of this landmark, the west cross tops its tower at {{convert|215|ft|m}}; the other spire is two feet shorter. The length of the church is also {{convert|215|ft|m}}, presenting a perfect proportion.

At one time, the Basilica was a campus of buildings; the Queen Anne style Sister's Convent and Grammar School (1888-1889, Henry Burns) and the Romanesque Revival St. Alphonsus Hall (1898, Franz Joseph Untersee) administered by the parish. The church closed the high school in 1992, but a Parochial elementary school still remains. The sale of these buildings at 80-100 Smith Street allowed much of the church to be restored. The sold buildings are currently planned for Basilica Court, a 229-unit residential complex, developed by Weston Associates, Inc. The Hall was the club headquarters for the St. Alphonsus Association founded in 1900. It was the preeminent social and athletic Catholic men's organization for nearly 50 years and it's 1000 seat theatre held many events community, political and theatrical events.

Another example of high religious architecture is the Byzantine-style Annunciation [[Greek Orthodox]] Cathedral at 514 Parker Street at the eastern edge of the neighborhood. Referred to as the "mother church" of the Greek Orthodox Church in New England, it is the cathedral of the Diocese of Boston and the seat of its Bishop Methodios. Built between 1892-1927, it is one of the oldest Greek churches in the United States, a Boston landmark, and is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. In 1927 a Greek artist was commissioned to decorate the cathedral with Byzantine iconography. The radiant stained glass windows and large crystal chandeliers also contribute to the visual majesty of the cathedral's interior.

Puddingstone plays a historic role in the area. The large puddingstone quarry that ran between Tremont Street and Allegany Street produced the stone foundations of most of the late 1800s houses in the neighborhood. This locally sourced material made quick construction of working-class housing possible. Some structures around the Tremont Street/Parker Street intersection are made entirely of the material, including 682-688 Parker Street, 2-5 Sewall Street and 1472-74 Tremont Street (1856, David Connery, mason).

Most of the houses in the neighborhood are stone foundations and wood construction. But the Triangle Historic District along Huntington Ave. is stone and brick, and one of only eight such districts in Boston given landmark status by the city. These seventy-one buildings bordered by Huntington Avenue, Tremont Street, and Worthington Street exemplify the development of the neighborhood from the 1870s through the 1910s. Construction of this area was begun in 1871. The Helvetia, a distinctive apartment hotel, was built at 706-708 Huntington Avenue in 1884-1885; a Georgian revival apartment building known as The Esther was built at 683 Huntington/142-148 Smith Street in 1912. Both buildings continue have retail on the ground floor and apartments above. Similar row houses line one side of Delle Avenue a few blocks away from the Triangle District. Taller and larger brick row houses also line Huntington Avenue, Wait Street and South Huntington.

By 1894, the electric streetcar was in operation on Huntington Avenue. Builder-developers began cutting streets through the hillside farmland and building homes for commuters on Parker Hill Avenue, Hillside Street, and Alleghany Street. An excellent example from this era is the Timothy Hoxie House at 135 Hillside Street. A freestanding [[Italianate]] villa, it was built in 1854 across from its present location. The Hoxie family left Beacon Hill for pastoral Mission Hill. Houses of this size are rare today. Demand for housing went up and builders turned to building multifamily dwellings, generally constructed on smaller lots.

The carpenter-contractor John Cantwell lived in the [[Gothic Revival]] cottage at 139 Hillside Street, and purchased the Hoxie House after Timothy’s death. He moved the house to its present site so that upper Sachem Street could be cut through. Cantwell also developed [[triple decker]]s on adjacent lots on Darling and Sachem Streets, and in 1890 subdivided the lot on which the Hoxie House stood and built triple-deckers at 17 and 19 Sachem Street.

By the 1890s, there was a more urban feel to the neighborhood and the hill was covered in triple-deckers. Calumet, Iroquois and other streets with [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] names were built up within ten years into a dense neighborhood of triple deckers in the Queen Anne style. The [[Queen Anne style]] is prevalent in Mission Hill because this building boom coincided with the popularity of this style. A restoration of this style of houses along Parker Street is becoming something of a [[Polychrome]] Row.

Prior to 1900, the [[Georgian Revival]] [[New England Baptist Hospital]] (at the time, the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital) at 125 Parker Hill Ave was one of the few institutions in the neighborhood. Other soon followed, moving from their downtown locations to the Mission Hill/Longwood area for more space and less expensive land (along with the completion of the Emerald Necklace). In 1906, the [[Harvard Medical School]] moved into five buildings on Longwood Avenue. Wentworth Institute at 360 Ruggles Street began building in 1911. In 1912, the then Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (now Brigham & Women's) opened on Brigham Circle. In 1914, Children's Hospital also moved to Longwood Avenue. Beth Israel Deaconess was constructed a short time later.<ref name="improvement">"Mission Hill: background information and planning issues, preliminary neighborhood improvement strategies", Boston Redevelopment Authority, (1975)</ref>

In the late 1800s through the 1970s, the neighborhood was once home to large numbers of families of recent [[Immigration|Immigrant]] descent, mostly [[Irish people|Irish]], but also [[Germans]], [[Italians]] and others. After the 1950s, the combined effects of [[urban renewal]], [[white flight]] and institutional growth caused many to flee the neighborhood. In the early 1960s the [[Boston Redevelopment Authority]] razed several homes in the Triangle District section of the neighborhood to make way for the Whitney Redevelopment Project, which are three high-rise towers along St. Alphonsus Street. The include Charlesbank Apartments (272 unit co-op), Back Bay Manor (270 units) and Franklin Square Apartments (formerly Back Bay Towers - 146 units). This project was one of Boston's earliest redevelopment projects not funded by federal renewal monies.<ref name="improvement" /> Across the street is Mission Main, one of the nation's oldest public housing developments. The original thirty-eight 3-story brick structures built between 1938 and 1940 were demolished in the mid-1990's and replaced with 535 new apartments with a mix of subsidized and market-rate units.

Industry began in the area as early as the 1600s. The first [[brewery]] was established at the foot of Parker Hill in the 1820s. By the 1870s beer production was the main industry in Mission Hill, and many breweries lined the Stony Brook (now a culvert running along the Southwest Corridor). Most of Boston's breweries were once located in Mission Hill, but three periods of [[Prohibition]] (1852-1868, 1869-1875 and 1918-1933) and the nation's transition from local breweries to national mass-produced brands took their toll on business. Many of the remaining buildings are now being converted into loft condominiums.

Breweries included A.J. Houghton (1870 - 1918) at 37 Station Street, American Brewing Co. at 251 Heath Street(1891-1934)—now [http://www.americanbrewerylofts.com/index.html American Brewery Lofts], Union Brewing Co. on Terrace Street (1893 - 1911), Roxbury Brewing Co. at 31 Heath Street (1896 - 1899)—the building is now home to the Family Service of Greater Boston, Croft Brewing Co. (1933 - 1953), Burkhardt Brewing Co. (1850 - 1918), Alley Brewing Co. at 117 Heath Street (1886 - 1918) and the Highland Springs Brewery/Reuter & Co. (1867 - 1918) on Terrace Street—the building is often referred to as The Pickle Factory and is in planning for conversion to housing.

In the late 1960s, [[Harvard University]] bought the wood frame and brick houses along Francis, Fenwood, St. Alban's, Kempton Streets, and part of Huntington Avenue, and announced plans to demolish the buildings. Most were replaced with the Mission Park residential complex of towers and townhomes in 1978 after neighborhood residents organized the Roxbury Tenants of Harvard Association convince Harvard to rebuild. The tower sits on the site of the House of the Good Shepard, once a large and prominent orphanage. The gates to the complex and the brick wall along Huntington survive from this era.

Also in the 1960s the federal government proposed to extend [[Interstate 95 in Massachusetts|Interstate 95]] into the center of Boston and began buying property and demolishing houses in the [[Roxbury Crossing (MBTA station)|Roxbury Crossing]] section of the neighborhood along the [[Boston and Providence Rail Road]]. Roxbury Crossing, once known as Pierpoint Village after the Pierpoint family and their mills (the earliest of which in the 1650's), and has been a stop along the [[Boston & Providence Railroad]] since the 1840s, was once a vibrant commercial area with the 749-seat Criterion Theatre, a [[F. W. Woolworth Company|Woolworths]] and restaurants.

Though the Interstate project was shelved by the governor in 1971 after [[freeway revolts]], Roxbury Crossing had been leveled. Ten years later saw the creation of the [[Southwest Corridor]], a park system with bike and pedestrian trails that lead into the center of Boston. In November 2007, the MBTA awarded Mission Hill Housing Services rights to develop a new 10-story mixed-use building on what is known to the Boston Redevelopment Authority as "Parcel 25", across from the Roxbury Crossing station.

By the early 1970s, the area was deemed dangerous and most [[White people]] and affluent [[Black people]] had moved away. The 1989 incident involving [[Charles Stuart (murderer)|Charles Stuart]] further intensified this view. With property values low, many of the homes were bought by [[slumlord|slum lords]] and converted into rental housing. The inexpensive rents brought many students from nearby colleges and universities, especially [[MassArt]], [[Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts)|Northeastern University]], [[Wentworth Institute of Technology]] and the [[School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston|School of the Museum of Fine Arts]], which has a large studio building in the neighborhood.<ref>[http://www.smfa.edu/Support_SMFA/Mission_Hill_Building_Project/Index.asp Mission Hill Building Project] SMFA</ref> The Mission Hill Artists Collective now hosts Open Studios<ref> [http://www.bostonopenstudios.org/ Boston Open Studios Coalition]</ref> in the fall of each year.

As past fears faded by the mid-1990s, the area began to change as homeowners moved into newly converted condominiums to take advantage of the fantastic views of the city and proximity to the Longwood Area, the [[MBTA]] and downtown Boston.

Today, the neighborhood is briskly [[Gentrification|gentrifying]] and diversifying in favor of a mix of new luxury [[condominiums]] and lofts, triple-deckers converted to condominiums, surviving student rental units, newly rebuilt public housing, and strong remnants of long-time residents. [[Race (classification of human beings)|Racially]], Mission Hill is one of the most diverse in the city, with a balance of white, [[Asian people|Asian]], [[Hispanic]] and [[African-Americans]] having little conflict along race lines.

Much of the early history of Mission Hill is covered in a 65 minute documentary film, ''Mission Hill and the Miracle of Boston'', which was directed by Richard Broadman and released in 1978. The film recounts the events that led to the Urban Renewal Program in Boston and its aftermath by showing how these events unfolded in Mission Hill.

Current events include the transformation of Terrace Street into an artist boulevard, with new artists' residences in the planning and approval stages. They will take their place along Diablo<ref>[http://www.diabloglassandmetal.com Diable Glass and Metal]</ref> glass studio and the Building Materials Co-Op.

'''Mission Hill''' is a 3/4 square mile[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=117936476199750036545.00000111c2561cd8c4ef4&ll=42.332471,-71.094933&spn=0.02519,0.079823&z=14&om=1] neighborhood of approximately 18,000 people in [[Boston, Massachusetts]].

The neighborhood is roughly bounded by Columbus Avenue and the Boston neighborhood of [[Roxbury, Massachusetts|Roxbury]] to the east, Longwood Avenue to the northeast and the [[Frederick Law Olmsted|Olmsted]] designed [[The Riverway|Riverway]]/[[The Jamaicaway|Jamaicaway]] and the town of [[Brookline, Massachusetts|Brookline]] to the west. It is northernly adjacent to the Boston neighborhood [[Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts|Jamaica Plain]]. It is served by the [[MBTA]] Green Line E Branch and the Orange Line and is within walking distance of the [[Museum of Fine Arts, Boston|Museum of Fine Arts]]. "The Hill" overlaps with about half of the [[Longwood Medical and Academic Area]], home to 21 world-class health care, research, education institutions and are responsible for the largest employment area in the City of Boston outside of downtown. Due to these adjacencies, the neighborhood is often struggling with institutional growth taking residential buildings and occupying storefront commercial space. But recent years have seen new retail stores, restaurants and residential development giving the neighborhood a stronger political voice and identity.

Mission Hill is an architectural landmark district with a combination of freestanding houses built by early wealthy landowners, blocks of traditional brick rowhouses, and many [[Triple decker]]. Many are [[condominium]]s, but there are also several two-family and some single-family homes.

The neighborhood was named in March 2008 as one of "25 Best Zip Codes in Massachusetts" by the [[The Boston Globe|Boston Globe]], citing increased value in single-family homes, plentiful restaurants and shopping, a marked racial diversity and that 65% of residents walk, bike or take transit to work.[http://www.boston.com/realestate/news/articles/2008/03/16/the_best_zip_codes/]

[[File:Mission Hill view.jpg|thumb|300px|View of Mission Church and Boston skyline from near top of Mission Hill]]

==Geography==
The neighborhood has two main commercial streets: Tremont Street (running north and south) and [[Huntington Avenue (Boston)|Huntington Ave]]. (running east and west). Both have several small restaurants and shops. Mission Hill is at the far western end of Tremont Street, with [[Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts|Beacon Hill]] at the far eastern end. Mission Hill has two main ZIP Codes; the southern half is designated 02120 and the northern area is 02115. Additionally, a very small portion of the southeastern edge uses the code 02130 and two streets on the far western edge use 02215.

Parker Hill, Roxbury Crossing, the Triangle District, Back of The Hill and Calumet Square are areas within the Mission Hill, an official designated neighborhood in Boston (as attested by numerous signs prohibiting parking without a sticker which can be received only by residents).

[[Brigham Circle (MBTA station)|Brigham Circle]], located at the corner of Tremont and Huntington is the neighborhood's commercial center, with a grocery store (Stop & Shop), drug stores, bistros, banks and taverns. Additionally, two other smaller commercial areas are in the neighborhood: Roxbury Crossing and the corner of Huntington and South Huntington next to the Brookline line.

One block up the hill from Brigham Circle is Boston's newest park, Kevin W. Fitzgerald Park (formerly Puddingstone Park)<ref>[http://www.missionhillnhs.org/open_space.htm Mission Hils NHS. Puddingstone Park]</ref> created when a new $60-million mixed use building was completed in 2002.

On Tremont Street is Mission Church (1878, Schickel and Ditmars, 1910 towers addition by [[Franz_Joseph_Untrsee|Franz Joseph Untersee]]),<ref>[http://www.themissionchurch.com The Mission Church]</ref> an [[eponym]]ous landmark building that dominates the skyline of the area. The church was chosen as the location for the funeral of [[Ted_Kennedy|Senator Edward M. Kennedy]] on Saturday, August 29th, 2009.

Also nearby is the newly restored Parker Hill Library,<ref>[http://www.bpl.org/branches/parker.htm Parker Hill Branch Library]</ref> the neighborhood branch of the Boston Public Library,<ref>[http://www.bpl.org Boston Public Library]</ref> and designed by architect [[Ralph Adams Cram]] in 1929. The city used eminent domain to acquire the land for both the library and the adjacent Mission Hill playground.

Atop the hill is [[New England Baptist Hospital]] and Parker Hill Playground, which extends from the hospital grounds down Parker Hill Avenue. Parker Hill Playground, originally proposed by then Boston Mayor [[James Curley]] in 1915, is also one of the highest points in the city where you can observe a panoramic view of [[Financial District, Boston, Massachusetts|downtown Boston]], [[Boston Harbor]], and the [[Blue Hills Reservation|Blue Hills]].

Always considered a part of Roxbury until a generation ago, Mission Hill is now most often regarded as a separate section of the city. However, neighborhood boundaries in Boston are inherently ambiguous and the subject of whether or not Mission Hill is adjacent to Roxbury or a remains a section thereof is still a subject of debate.<ref>Strong arguments for both viewpoints have been presented at [[Talk:Mission Hill, Boston, Massachusetts]]. Accompanying this discussion are links to internal sources indicating that other sections of Boston are also subjects of similar debate. Zip codes, electoral zoning, naming of police stations, parking stickers, and myriad other indicators of place have been brought forth as evidence for both sides of the argument. Ultimately, the neighborhoods of Boston have no consistent official status and the point may be moot.</ref>

==History==
Like the adjacent neighborhood of [[Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts|Jamaica Plain]] to the south, Mission Hill was once a neighborhood of adjacent [[Roxbury, Massachusetts|Roxbury]] prior to Roxbury's annexation by Boston. According to maps from the period, it was often referenced as Parker Hill (which is the name of the geographic feature in the area). After annexation (and more rapidly in recent years) the area slowly came to be considered a separate neighborhood of its own right. The majority of government, commercial and institutional entities list "Mission Hill" in the breakdown of Boston neighborhoods and its boundaries generally agreed upon.

Until the [[American Revolution]], Mission Hill supported large country estates of wealthy Boston families. Much of the area was an orchard farm, originally owned by the Parker family in the 18th century. Peter Parker married Sarah Ruggles, whose family owned large areas of land including most of what became known as Parker Hill (later renamed Mission Hill). His life ended when a barrel of his own cider fell on him. (Much of this story is outlined in "The History of Peter Parker and Sarah Ruggles", a book by John William Linzee, published in 1913.)

The orchard continued for some time thereafter, but gradually pieces of the land were sold and developed. Boston’s reservoir was once located at the top of the hill. Many of the older apple trees along Fisher Avenue and in an undeveloped area of the playground are probably descendants of the Parker family’s original trees. The lower portion of the eastern hill was a [[puddingstone]] [[quarry]] with large swaths owned by merchants [[Franklin G. Dexter]], [[Warren Fisher]] and [[Fredrick Ames]].

Maps of the area indicate Mission Hill development began prior to the Fenway and Longwood Medical Area. Huntington Avenue, now one the main connections to the rest of Boston, once stopped at the intersection of Parker Street, near the present-day site of the Museum of Fine Arts. Up until that time, Mission Hill was connected via Parker Street (a man-made raised passage between the Stony Brook and the Muddy River - both which formed a tidal flat into the Charles River) all the way to Boylston Street in the Back Bay. Part of what was once Parker Street is now called Hemenway Street. The once main intersection of Parker Street and Huntington Avenue has been traffic-engineered, cutting the straight-line road in two and forcing traffic to first turn onto Forsyth Way to make the connection. Many other streets leading into Mission Hill were also realigned and/or renamed at Huntington Avenue (including Longwood Avenue/McGreevey Way, Smith/Shattuck Street, Vancouver Street, and Palace Road/Worthington Street), limiting both pedestrian and vehicular access.

After the 1880s and the re-routing of the Muddy River by Frederick Law Olmsted, Huntington Avenue was joined from Parker Street to Brigham Circle, creating the Triangle District. (Maps from the time indicate that Huntington Avenue from Brigham Circle to the Brookline line was named Tremont Street.)
[[File:MissionChurchBoston.JPG|thumb|200px|Mission Church]]
Development began in earnest in the mid-19th century. In 1870, the [[Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer|Redemptorist Fathers]] built a humble wooden [[Mission (Christian)|mission church]] that was replaced by an impressive [[Roxbury puddingstone]] structure in 1876. In 1910, dual-spires were added that now dominate the skyline. The church was elevated to [[basilica]] in 1954 by [[Pope Pius XII]] and is one of only 43 in the United States. Officially named [[Our Lady of Perpetual Help]] after the [[icon]] of the same name, it is uniformly referred to as "Mission Church", even by its own [[parish]]ioners. Due to a sloping foundation of this landmark, the west cross tops its tower at {{convert|215|ft|m}}; the other spire is two feet shorter. The length of the church is also {{convert|215|ft|m}}, presenting a perfect proportion.

At one time, the Basilica was a campus of buildings; the Queen Anne style Sister's Convent and Grammar School (1888-1889, Henry Burns) and the Romanesque Revival St. Alphonsus Hall (1898, Franz Joseph Untersee) administered by the parish. The church closed the high school in 1992, but a Parochial elementary school still remains. The sale of these buildings at 80-100 Smith Street allowed much of the church to be restored. The sold buildings are currently planned for Basilica Court, a 229-unit residential complex, developed by Weston Associates, Inc. The Hall was the club headquarters for the St. Alphonsus Association founded in 1900. It was the preeminent social and athletic Catholic men's organization for nearly 50 years and it's 1000 seat theatre held many events community, political and theatrical events.

Another example of high religious architecture is the Byzantine-style Annunciation [[Greek Orthodox]] Cathedral at 514 Parker Street at the eastern edge of the neighborhood. Referred to as the "mother church" of the Greek Orthodox Church in New England, it is the cathedral of the Diocese of Boston and the seat of its Bishop Methodios. Built between 1892-1927, it is one of the oldest Greek churches in the United States, a Boston landmark, and is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. In 1927 a Greek artist was commissioned to decorate the cathedral with Byzantine iconography. The radiant stained glass windows and large crystal chandeliers also contribute to the visual majesty of the cathedral's interior.

Puddingstone plays a historic role in the area. The large puddingstone quarry that ran between Tremont Street and Allegany Street produced the stone foundations of most of the late 1800s houses in the neighborhood. This locally sourced material made quick construction of working-class housing possible. Some structures around the Tremont Street/Parker Street intersection are made entirely of the material, including 682-688 Parker Street, 2-5 Sewall Street and 1472-74 Tremont Street (1856, David Connery, mason).

Most of the houses in the neighborhood are stone foundations and wood construction. But the Triangle Historic District along Huntington Ave. is stone and brick, and one of only eight such districts in Boston given landmark status by the city. These seventy-one buildings bordered by Huntington Avenue, Tremont Street, and Worthington Street exemplify the development of the neighborhood from the 1870s through the 1910s. Construction of this area was begun in 1871. The Helvetia, a distinctive apartment hotel, was built at 706-708 Huntington Avenue in 1884-1885; a Georgian revival apartment building known as The Esther was built at 683 Huntington/142-148 Smith Street in 1912. Both buildings continue have retail on the ground floor and apartments above. Similar row houses line one side of Delle Avenue a few blocks away from the Triangle District. Taller and larger brick row houses also line Huntington Avenue, Wait Street and South Huntington.

By 1894, the electric streetcar was in operation on Huntington Avenue. Builder-developers began cutting streets through the hillside farmland and building homes for commuters on Parker Hill Avenue, Hillside Street, and Alleghany Street. An excellent example from this era is the Timothy Hoxie House at 135 Hillside Street. A freestanding [[Italianate]] villa, it was built in 1854 across from its present location. The Hoxie family left Beacon Hill for pastoral Mission Hill. Houses of this size are rare today. Demand for housing went up and builders turned to building multifamily dwellings, generally constructed on smaller lots.

The carpenter-contractor John Cantwell lived in the [[Gothic Revival]] cottage at 139 Hillside Street, and purchased the Hoxie House after Timothy’s death. He moved the house to its present site so that upper Sachem Street could be cut through. Cantwell also developed [[triple decker]]s on adjacent lots on Darling and Sachem Streets, and in 1890 subdivided the lot on which the Hoxie House stood and built triple-deckers at 17 and 19 Sachem Street.

By the 1890s, there was a more urban feel to the neighborhood and the hill was covered in triple-deckers. Calumet, Iroquois and other streets with [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] names were built up within ten years into a dense neighborhood of triple deckers in the Queen Anne style. The [[Queen Anne style]] is prevalent in Mission Hill because this building boom coincided with the popularity of this style. A restoration of this style of houses along Parker Street is becoming something of a [[Polychrome]] Row.

Prior to 1900, the [[Georgian Revival]] [[New England Baptist Hospital]] (at the time, the Robert Breck Brigham Hospital) at 125 Parker Hill Ave was one of the few institutions in the neighborhood. Other soon followed, moving from their downtown locations to the Mission Hill/Longwood area for more space and less expensive land (along with the completion of the Emerald Necklace). In 1906, the [[Harvard Medical School]] moved into five buildings on Longwood Avenue. Wentworth Institute at 360 Ruggles Street began building in 1911. In 1912, the then Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (now Brigham & Women's) opened on Brigham Circle. In 1914, Children's Hospital also moved to Longwood Avenue. Beth Israel Deaconess was constructed a short time later.<ref name="improvement">"Mission Hill: background information and planning issues, preliminary neighborhood improvement strategies", Boston Redevelopment Authority, (1975)</ref>

In the late 1800s through the 1970s, the neighborhood was once home to large numbers of families of recent [[Immigration|Immigrant]] descent, mostly [[Irish people|Irish]], but also [[Germans]], [[Italians]] and others. After the 1950s, the combined effects of [[urban renewal]], [[white flight]] and institutional growth caused many to flee the neighborhood. In the early 1960s the [[Boston Redevelopment Authority]] razed several homes in the Triangle District section of the neighborhood to make way for the Whitney Redevelopment Project, which are three high-rise towers along St. Alphonsus Street. The include Charlesbank Apartments (272 unit co-op), Back Bay Manor (270 units) and Franklin Square Apartments (formerly Back Bay Towers - 146 units). This project was one of Boston's earliest redevelopment projects not funded by federal renewal monies.<ref name="improvement" /> Across the street is Mission Main, one of the nation's oldest public housing developments. The original thirty-eight 3-story brick structures built between 1938 and 1940 were demolished in the mid-1990's and replaced with 535 new apartments with a mix of subsidized and market-rate units.

Industry began in the area as early as the 1600s. The first [[brewery]] was established at the foot of Parker Hill in the 1820s. By the 1870s beer production was the main industry in Mission Hill, and many breweries lined the Stony Brook (now a culvert running along the Southwest Corridor). Most of Boston's breweries were once located in Mission Hill, but three periods of [[Prohibition]] (1852-1868, 1869-1875 and 1918-1933) and the nation's transition from local breweries to national mass-produced brands took their toll on business. Many of the remaining buildings are now being converted into loft condominiums.

Breweries included A.J. Houghton (1870 - 1918) at 37 Station Street, American Brewing Co. at 251 Heath Street(1891-1934)—now [http://www.americanbrewerylofts.com/index.html American Brewery Lofts], Union Brewing Co. on Terrace Street (1893 - 1911), Roxbury Brewing Co. at 31 Heath Street (1896 - 1899)—the building is now home to the Family Service of Greater Boston, Croft Brewing Co. (1933 - 1953), Burkhardt Brewing Co. (1850 - 1918), Alley Brewing Co. at 117 Heath Street (1886 - 1918) and the Highland Springs Brewery/Reuter & Co. (1867 - 1918) on Terrace Street—the building is often referred to as The Pickle Factory and is in planning for conversion to housing.

In the late 1960s, [[Harvard University]] bought the wood frame and brick houses along Francis, Fenwood, St. Alban's, Kempton Streets, and part of Huntington Avenue, and announced plans to demolish the buildings. Most were replaced with the Mission Park residential complex of towers and townhomes in 1978 after neighborhood residents organized the Roxbury Tenants of Harvard Association convince Harvard to rebuild. The tower sits on the site of the House of the Good Shepard, once a large and prominent orphanage. The gates to the complex and the brick wall along Huntington survive from this era.

[[Image:roxcross1874.jpg|thumb|200px|1874 Map of Roxbury Crossing]]
Also in the 1960s the federal government proposed to extend [[Interstate 95 in Massachusetts|Interstate 95]] into the center of Boston and began buying property and demolishing houses in the [[Roxbury Crossing (MBTA station)|Roxbury Crossing]] section of the neighborhood along the [[Boston and Providence Rail Road]]. Roxbury Crossing, once known as Pierpoint Village after the Pierpoint family and their mills (the earliest of which in the 1650's), and has been a stop along the [[Boston & Providence Railroad]] since the 1840s, was once a vibrant commercial area with the 749-seat Criterion Theatre, a [[F. W. Woolworth Company|Woolworths]] and restaurants.

Though the Interstate project was shelved by the governor in 1971 after [[freeway revolts]], Roxbury Crossing had been leveled. Ten years later saw the creation of the [[Southwest Corridor]], a park system with bike and pedestrian trails that lead into the center of Boston. In November 2007, the MBTA awarded Mission Hill Housing Services rights to develop a new 10-story mixed-use building on what is known to the Boston Redevelopment Authority as "Parcel 25", across from the Roxbury Crossing station.

By the early 1970s, the area was deemed dangerous and most [[White people]] and affluent [[Black people]] had moved away. The 1989 incident involving [[Charles Stuart (murderer)|Charles Stuart]] further intensified this view. With property values low, many of the homes were bought by [[slumlord|slum lords]] and converted into rental housing. The inexpensive rents brought many students from nearby colleges and universities, especially [[MassArt]], [[Northeastern University (Boston, Massachusetts)|Northeastern University]], [[Wentworth Institute of Technology]] and the [[School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston|School of the Museum of Fine Arts]], which has a large studio building in the neighborhood.<ref>[http://www.smfa.edu/Support_SMFA/Mission_Hill_Building_Project/Index.asp Mission Hill Building Project] SMFA</ref> The Mission Hill Artists Collective now hosts Open Studios<ref> [http://www.bostonopenstudios.org/ Boston Open Studios Coalition]</ref> in the fall of each year.

As past fears faded by the mid-1990s, the area began to change as homeowners moved into newly converted condominiums to take advantage of the fantastic views of the city and proximity to the Longwood Area, the [[MBTA]] and downtown Boston.

Today, the neighborhood is briskly [[Gentrification|gentrifying]] and diversifying in favor of a mix of new luxury [[condominiums]] and lofts, triple-deckers converted to condominiums, surviving student rental units, newly rebuilt public housing, and strong remnants of long-time residents. [[Race (classification of human beings)|Racially]], Mission Hill is one of the most diverse in the city, with a balance of white, [[Asian people|Asian]], [[Hispanic]] and [[African-Americans]] having little conflict along race lines.

Much of the early history of Mission Hill is covered in a 65 minute documentary film, ''Mission Hill and the Miracle of Boston'', which was directed by Richard Broadman and released in 1978. The film recounts the events that led to the Urban Renewal Program in Boston and its aftermath by showing how these events unfolded in Mission Hill.

Current events include the transformation of Terrace Street into an artist boulevard, with new artists' residences in the planning and approval stages. They will take their place along Diablo<ref>[http://www.diabloglassandmetal.com Diable Glass and Metal]</ref> glass studio and the Building Materials Co-Op.
