Initially, the South End neighborhood was designed to appeal especially to the wealthy. Beautiful Victorian townhouses, as well as several parks were built in the area to make the neighborhood more attractive – many of which still remain in place today. The number of historic townhouses built near each other made South End the largest Victorian residential district in the United States – a title that also still remains true today.
