From one of Boston's poorest streets to one of USA's most cherished captured in a autumnal watercolour 
 
Acorn Street in Boston’s Beacon Hill—a narrow, cobbled residential lane famous for its red-brick Federal-style houses, wall lanterns and flower boxes.
 
It was laid out in the 1820s and was originally known as Kitchen Street, reportedly because cooks, coachmen and other domestic workers lived in its small houses near the grander homes of Beacon Hill. One of Boston—and sometimes the United States’—most photographed streets
 
Interesting facts...
It's seen real communities over the years. In the decades before the Civil War, Beacon Hill was home to one of Boston’s largest free Black communities. In the 1980s, residents reportedly retained control partly to prevent the city from paving over the historic cobbles. A true test of a community is if it can defend itself and this street has been saved for all.
