THE SOUTH END, is a neighborhood located in Boston's lower south side near Chinatown and Back Bay. The neighborhood is built upon a former tidal marsh, which was a part of the huge filling in project of Boston's Back Bay in the mid 1800s. The South End is the largest intact Victorian row house district in the country, which is made up of over 300 acres, mostly the styles being Renaissance Revival, Italianate and French Second Empire, though there are Greek Revival, Egyptian Revival, Gothic Revival, and Queen Anne style houses, among several other styles. The unique architecture is unified by the common red brick, slate, limestone or granite trim and amazing cast iron railings. The area is incredibly diverse and began to grow in the 1880s when Irish, Lebanese, Jewish, African-American and Greek populations settled in the area. It offers many local parks and is very popular when it comes to entertainment with many bars, restaurants, art galleries, and boutiques located in the neighborhood.
