Open Market's Boston Camera

This page is refreshed every five minutes automatically.
This image comes from the fourth floor of the old Carter Ink Building. In the view you will see the Charles River Basin, with Boston's Beacon Hill behind.
The bridge at the right is the Longfellow Bridge, also called "The salt and pepper shaker bridge" because of the shape of the towers. You might see the Boston T red line train (MBTA subway line) as it crosses the river between the Charles/MGH and Kendall Square stops.

The view is to the north and is is updated every 5 minutes. The camera has a wide-angle lens, so objects are actually much closerthan they appear.You are looking across Main Street, towards the Henry Hills House (built in 1862) at 390 Main Street. (The house is at the upper left, when not hidden by the follage.) Henry was the son of Leonard M. Hills, a prominent palmleaf hat manufacturer. Leonard Hills started his first hat factory on Main Street in 1829. In addition to continuing his father's hat manufacturing business, Henry Hills was president of the American Button Company and the Roper Repeating Rifle Company. The Italianate villa was designed by William Fenno Pratt, of Northampton.
If you were walking up Main Street (to the left) you would next pass the Leonard Hills House (also designed by Pratt and built in 1862) and the Emily Dickinson Homestead. The center of Amherst is about 5 blocks further on your left. (The main street of Amherst is not Main Street, but North Pleasant Street. Go figure!)
