Landmaking
Central Waterfront |
The Bulfinch Triangle Charles Bulfinch was a member of the Selectmen's committee that designed the street layout of this landmaking project and drew the plan, hence the name Bulfinch Triangle. This area is shaped as a southeastward pointing triangle with today's Causeway Street as the straight side at the top and Merrimac and North Washington Streets meeting to form a point at the Haymarket Parking Garage. Canal Street runs down the center of the triangle and was originally a canal carrying vessels northward as part of the Middlesex Canal. Other streets comprising this area are: Lancaster, Portland, Friend, Haverhill, Medford, Traverse, and Market Streets. Major landmarks and buildings in this area and its vicinity include the Fleet Center, the Tip O'Neill Federal Building, the Edward Brooke Courthouse, Paddy Burke's Pub, and the Leonard Zakim Bridge. |
