Commonwealth Avenue bisects the historic Boston neighborhood of Back Bay, and connects the Boston Common and Public Garden to the rest of the "Emerald Necklace" network of public spaces. As architect Patrick Ahearn, FAIA, describes it in the latest edition of In Your Neighborhood, the Avenue presents a journey of architectural styles that celebrates the best of urban living in a walkable city.
