The Popular St Botolph History Series Continues....
We had a huge turnout for the Stained Glass Historical Presentation last spring and we’re putting the finishing touches on the next history talk towards the end of October. Titus Sparrow Update
This fall, Titus Sparrow is taking an important next step toward the long-term health of the turf: the majority of the lawn will be temporarily closed from October 6 through October 30 while they complete a fall hydroseeding project.

60 and Fabulous!
We are the Association of the St. Botolph District. On January 25th, 1966 , the association was formed and one of the founding board members was Titus Sparrow! The neighborhood was developed in the 1850s as a residential neighborhood and is a historical site protected by the St. Botolph Historic District Commission. It consists of a twelve-block area east to west, and its boundaries are Huntington Avenue, Copley Place, the Southwest Corridor Park, and Massachusetts Avenue. The nine streets are Albemarle, Blackwood, Cumberland, Durham, West Newton, Follen, Garrison, Harcourt, and St Botolph St. 
Who was St. Botolph?
It's believed that the word "Boston" is a contraction of Saint Botolph's town. Saint Botolph is the Patron Saint of Travelers and was a Benedictine monk who traveled in England in the 7th Century. His feast day is celebrated on the 17th of June! Membership 2026
