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 urban
  renewal of  the 1960s and the displacement of the people there.\n"The L
 ast Tenement" exhibition\, originally set up in 1992 at the Old  State H
 ouse by the Bostonian Society through a grant by the National  Endowment
  for the Humanities and relocated to the West End Museum in  2006\, is n
 ow permanently housed in its own dedicated 1100 square foot  space.The e
 xhibit documents the history of the West End during  the immigrant era f
 rom 1850 to 1958 - its topographical history\, its  architecture\, its n
 ineteenth-century blooming as a desirable residential  area\, its evolut
 ion into a densely populated urban district of  working-class immigrants
  and a small community of middle-class  professionals and students over 
 twenty different ethnic backgrounds. The  West End also is known nationa
 lly to generations of students of urban  planning and sociology as a tex
 tbook example of negative results from  the 1950s federal urban renewal 
 program. The lesson learned from the  razing of Boston's West End have i
 nstructed city planners and spurred  neighborhood activists to cope more
  successfully with urban problems.\nVisit our website\, The West End Mus
