Joe McKendry’s

Beneath the Streets of

Boston offers a concise

yet detailed history

of this country’s oldest

underground system. 

Building his

magnificent watercolor

illustrations from

a combination of

old photographs,

architectural drawings,

and even newspaper

clippings, he has

created a coherent

and convincing picture

of 23 years of

construction that

significantly improved

life above ground

for the residents of

one of America’s most

beautiful cities.”
