Harriet Tubman House The Honor Roll Mural on Columbus Avenue through facade from left

Northeastern University (Boston, Mass.). Library · September 16, 2020

This photograph was taken as part of the Harriet Tubman House Memory Project, a Boston Research Center effort from 2020 to 2022 to preserve the history of the Harriet Tubman House, which stood at 566 Columbus Avenue in Boston's South End neighborhood from 1975 to 2020. The building was the base of operations for United South End Settlements (USES), as well as a community center, gathering space, art gallery, and main office for several nonprofit organizations. Harriet Tubman House services continue at USES' historic Rutland Street campus. The Harriet Tubman House Memory Project was designed with current staff of the USES and community members affiliated with the activist group I Am Harriet (IAH). This image was taken by Bruce Myren as a Boston Public Library photo-documentation project on September 16, 2020, which documents the building's interior and exterior, after resident organizations had moved out, but before the building's demolition.
