African American Heritage Trail

Last Friday,a hot and depressing day,we went to African American Heritage Trail,which are the best preserved places for leraning about the history of African Americans in Boston. Although i was suffering from the hot weather, i was still attracted by these historical and classical building. This is why I took so many photos. What impressed me most is the Smith Court Residences,there five residential buildings on Smith Court that are typical of the homes occupied by black Bostonians in the 19th century.NO. 3 was built in 1799 by two white bricklayers,which was a double house with a common entryway.Moreover, NO. 5 was built as income property by a lawyer between 1815 and 1828.NO. 7 was built in between 1802 and 1811.And NO.r 10 was built in 1853 for Joseph with two brick stories , next to the African Meeting House. These buildings revealed me the history of African American. I've learned a lot during this trip
