Harriet Tubman House

Category: South End

The Tubman House is a landmark at the corner of Massachusetts and Columbus Avenues. It was the first major commission for Don Stull – then, one of only a dozen African-American architects in the nation – who won awards with the Tubman House and went on to design Boston’s award-winning Ruggles Street subway station and the new police department headquarters.

The building comprises a multi-level, open floor plan filled with natural light from skylights and large floor-to-ceiling windows. Its external walls on Columbus Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue are decorated with a mural depicting the ethnically diverse history of the past 100 years in the South End.

The Harriet Tubman House is just one of many Boston area tourist attractions and other things to do in Boston. MustSeeBoston.com is your online Boston travel guide.
