Leaving the monument, we go down Lexington Street to City Square where we take the elevated train to North Station. Arriving at North Station, go downstairs and take the subway back to Arlington Street where we leave the subway and return to our starting point. [Illustration: BUNKER HILL] A DAY’S AUTO TRIP THROUGH _HISTORIC_ _SUBURBAN BOSTON_ ★ The Start Let us get into our automobile in front of the Hotel Statler on the Providence Street side. Swing left around the island and right at Arlington Street and again right at Boylston Street along which we drive to Charles Street, where we turn left. Proceed along Charles Street with the Boston Common on our right and the Public Gardens on our left and continue to the first rotary traffic circle where we swing around, by the AMOCO Service Station and cross the Longfellow Bridge (made famous by Longfellow’s poem “I stood on the bridge at midnight”). Arriving on the Cambridge shore, go sharp right and follow around to the right on to Memorial Drive This drive runs along the beautiful Charles River on which the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University boat crews train. As we roll along the drive, we come to the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology on our right. From this school have graduated many of our best technical men. On our left as we drive along, we see Harvard Bridge, the Tech Boat House and the Weld Boat House. Across the Charles, we see the Harvard Business School, while on our right we begin to pass the “houses” of Harvard College. Continuing along the drive to Mt. Auburn Street, we turn left. A short way down Mt. Auburn Street on our left we pass the Stillman Infirmary, maintained as a hospital for Harvard students, and the Cambridge Hospital. On the river bank directly in the rear of this group of buildings is the supposed site of Leif Erickson’s old house built in the year 1001. Continue on Mt. Auburn Street two blocks to Coolidge Avenue and turn left. On our right is Mt. Auburn Cemetery Sometimes called “The Cemetery of Poets” for here are buried Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Charles Sumner, Edward Everett, Louis Agassiz and Phillips Brooks. Run the car about one-tenth of a mile along the cemetery fence and stop. Through the fence one can see the beautiful tomb of Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science Church. After admiring the beautiful setting, we turn our car about and travel back to Mt. Auburn Street, where we turn right and then left on Elmwood Avenue, on the corner of which stands The James Russell Lowell House [Illustration: THE JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL HOUSE]
