Built in 1767. Used as a hospital during the Battle of Bunker Hill. Later Benedict Arnold used it as his headquarters for three weeks. James Russell Lowell was born here in 1819. Follow Elmwood Avenue to Brattle Street where we turn right. On our left we see the Fayerweather House and the Nichols House, both built in 1660. Further down Brattle Street, we come to the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow House, built in 1759. Turning left at Mason Street we pass Radcliffe College. In 1894 the Society for the Collegiate Instruction of Women or more familiarly the “Harvard Annex” was incorporated as Radcliffe College. Named after Lady Moulson, née Ann Radcliffe, who was the first woman to make a gift of money to Harvard. We follow Mason Street to the Cambridge Common Directly in the center of the street we find the tablet which marks the spot where stood the famous elm under which Washington took command of the Army on July 3, 1775. The tree itself collapsed of old age in 1923. Turning right we come to Christ Church Built in 1761 by the Tories, it was used by the Provincial troops as a barracks during the siege of Boston and the lead pipe’s of the organ were melted for bullets. Washington attended services here New Year’s Eve 1775. We pass from the Church yard to the Old Burying Ground which contains the bodies of numerous Colonial people. At the edge of the cemetery we find an old granite milestone which bears the inscription “Boston 8 miles 1734.” Entering our car we swing left around the Common following the traffic arrows and pass Harvard University This is the oldest and in many ways the most distinguished school of learning in the United States. Built in 1636. However, this priority is oftentimes disputed as William and Mary College in Virginia claims its date of charter to be 1617. In order to visit Harvard you should set aside a whole day.
