DESCRIPTION:A guided tour of the West End Museum's permanent exhibit\, in
 cluding   their photographs\, artifacts and archival materials that tell
  the story   of the immigrant experience in the west end through the urb
 an renewal  of  the 1960s and the displacement of the people there.\n"Th
 e Last Tenement" exhibition\, originally set up in 1992 at the Old   Sta
 te House by the Bostonian Society through a grant by the National   Endo
 wment for the Humanities and relocated to the West End Museum in   2006\
 , is now permanently housed in its own dedicated 1100 square foot   spac
 e.The exhibit documents the history of the West End during   the immigra
 nt era from 1850 to 1958 - its topographical history\, its   architectur
 e\, its nineteenth-century blooming as a desirable residential   area\, 
 its evolution into a densely populated urban district of   working-class
  immigrants and a small community of middle-class   professionals and st
 udents over twenty different ethnic backgrounds. The   West End also is 
 known nationally to generations of students of urban   planning and soci
 ology as a textbook example of negative results from   the 1950s federal
  urban renewal program. The lesson learned from the   razing of Boston's
  West End have instructed city planners and spurred   neighborhood activ
 ists to cope more successfully with urban problems.\nVisit our website\,
