Harrison Square Historic District

Clam Point is a sub-neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, noteworthy for its collection of substantial Italianate Mansard residences. The area is known to have the most cohesive, intact collection of mansion-scale mid 19th-century housing in Boston, and includes the Park, Everett, Freeport, Mill, Asland, Blanche Streets, and Victory Road in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. In the past decade the historic area has attracted a new wave of development due to its location on a prime strip of waterfront overlooking Dorchester Bay and its proximity to the Red Line.
Among the architects represented in the district are Luther Briggs, Jr., who also designed the Mount Wollaston Cemetery and John A. Fox, who also designed Tewksbury Hospital, both also on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to the Federal and Greek Revival architecture noted on the National Register listing, most of the Victorian styles are also represented. The houses on Mill Street are a catalog of architectural styles of the 19th century. The district was added to the Register in 2002.
