A 2026 Boston Wall Calendar featuring 12 restored black and white photographs capturing the city’s colonial streets, historic brick architecture, legendary waterfront, and iconic landmarks that shaped America’s early identity.
This collection brings together rare views of Boston as it once was, from Federal-era neighborhoods and gas-lit streets to long-vanished wharves, grand civic buildings, and moments of everyday life along the Charles.
Step into the past and rediscover the soul of New England through images that reveal Boston’s evolution from a revolutionary cradle to a world-class academic and cultural capital.
What’s inside:
• The Heart of Old Boston
Walk the narrow streets of Beacon Hill, the North End, and the Back Bay. These photographs capture colonial-era brickwork, iron railings, bow-front houses, and the timeless character of Boston’s historic neighborhoods.
• Waterfront and Harbor Views
Rediscover piers, shipyards, and trading docks that once connected Boston to the world. Many of these maritime scenes no longer exist, preserved only in vintage photography.

Each image has been carefully restored to highlight fine detail while preserving the authentic grain, contrast, and mood of early New England photography.
• A Piece of Boston’s Legacy
Perfect for architecture lovers, history enthusiasts, Boston natives, travelers, academics, and anyone who feels a connection to the spirit of New England.
