Commentary
Inspired by the City Beautiful movement to beautify urban areas during the turn of the 20th century, the city of Boston created competions for city residents to create the most impressive window boxes and gardens in their neighborhoods. This 1911 Christian Science Monitor article highlights Isabella’s role of sponsoring the prizes.
