Notes
  • Significance: Flagstaff Park, originally part of the Cambridge Common, was landscaped at the time of subway construction in 1909-1913. It contains a flagstaff base designed by prominent architects Peabody and Stearns, and a statue of Charles Sumner by Anne Whitney, one of the first successful female American sculptors. The park is central to the traffic pattern of Harvard Square, and introduced an element of Beaux-Arts formalism into the common area.
