Newbury Street is located in the Back Bay of Boston, Massachusetts. It is filled with historic 19th century buildings that contain hundreds of shops, salons and restaurants, which is now a popular tourist spot in Massachusetts. “Newbury Street runs east-to-west beginning from the Boston Public Garden to Mass Ave, full of shopping locations.”(1) However, the most expensive boutiques are located near the Boston Public Garden. “In the late 1860’s the first building that was built on Newbury Street was the Emmanuel Church.”(2) After the Emmanuel Church was built, around 1905 the first retail shop on Newbury opened, which was the new beginning of one historic shopping area. As the years progressed, Newbury Street has become a hot spot for high class salons and retail.
