Area history

There are two other hills in the area, Pemberton Hill and Mount Vernon, which were reduced in height to allow for housing development, and the earth was used to fill in Mill Pond. The south slope of the hill was a desirable place to be in the 19th century. The north side of the hill was a poor black neighbourhood at the time. But it was also the site of where many famous black leaders, including Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, and others spoke at the African Meeting House on Joy Street. Beacon Hill was one of the centers of the anti-slavery movement during the Antebellum era. In the 1950s, there was an urban renewal project in the 1950s and the area was designated a National Historic Landmark in late 1962.
