Title
Randall Square - State House & Public Health Building
Description
General wasteland of Randall Square before renewal. St. Patrick’s Church can be seen in the left near the State House, and the Armenian Church is on the extreme right. Also of note are the triple-deckers to the west which were once part of continuous neighborhood in the Smith Hill area. These homes were left isolated by the incision of I-95 in 1958 which required the destruction of hundreds of homes, businesses, and two historic churches. Much of Randall Square was damaged by fire in 1971.
