The Beacon Hill Civic Association (BHCA) is a volunteer organization run by a dedicated Board of Directors and supported by our Executive Director and office staff. Since 1922, the organization has been working to preserve and enhance the quality of residential life in Beacon Hill.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we thank our volunteers, Executive Director, and office staff for their continued efforts and selfless work on behalf of the neighborhood.
Over the past year, the BHCA has continued our deep involvement in numerous matters of great importance to our neighborhood, and we are honored to be a trusted resource and voice for our members and neighbors. As always, the BHCA maintains its focus on our founders’ original concerns - zoning, licensing, traffic, parking, and neighborhood quality of life. We have continued to help shape outcomes, as well as attend to local and citywide changes that impact our neighborhood. Numerous long-term public and private development and infrastructure projects and zoning text amendments currently underway will directly impact Beacon Hill in the coming months and years, and a robust and transparent public process helps to yield thoughtful outcomes for our residents and businesses alike. It is our honor and responsibility to act as ambassadors in advocating and advancing the BHCA’s mission.
The BHCA continues to plan, host, and facilitate gatherings both social and informational. Bringing residents together strengthens our community. Whether in person or virtually, we seek opportunities to build friendships and connections, while also proactively planning and offering activities to encourage engagement (and ultimately membership) from our Beacon Hill neighbors.
HillFest welcomed and brought neighbors and our non-profit friends together for the start of the fall season in September. Garlands and Greens in November sold out for another year, and Holiday Decorating gathered neighbors together for the start of the holiday season.
Almost 200 neighbors attended the Winter Gala Supper Club this February for a spectacular evening inspired by the fondly remembered “hosted dinners” held in neighbors’ homes in years’ past. The Winter Gala is our primary fundraising event for the year and, together with the Annual Appeal, provides crucial funding for the BHCA’s operating budget. Your support of these annual initiatives as well as other events throughout the year allows the BHCA to maintain its outsized ability to advocate for our members and neighbors.
The BHCA also remains active in providing funding to worthy non-profit causes and organizations related to Beacon Hill. Every year since 2019, The Beacon Hill Community Fund (BHCF) has awarded small grants to community-based Beacon Hill, Cambridge Street and adjacent neighborhood non-profit organizations, community development corporations, and other civic groups dedicated to promoting and enhancing quality of life in the community through projects and programs for residents. The BHCA is honored to continue this unique and important practice, awarding $20,000 in total grants this year to 17 organizations.
Our Committees – comprised of dedicated volunteers – remained as busy as ever in fiscal year 2024 (May 2023 to April 2024). During that time, the Architecture Committee reviewed 93 applications. Meetings were well attended by neighbors, demonstrating an increased interest and involvement from the community in providing input to guide the Committee’s work.
The Zoning and Licensing Committee (ZLC) was also quite active during the past year. In fiscal year 2024, the ZLC considered a total 13 proposals. Of the 13 proposals considered, the BHCA Board of Directors voted not to oppose 6, in some cases with a ‘Good Neighbor Agreement’ to be negotiated with the proponents.
The Parks & Public Spaces Committee succeeded in reducing the impact of the so-called “Freedom Rally” (a/k/a “Hempfest”) on the Boston Common, and in keeping the Park Department’s permit for the event to a single day. The Committee continues to work with the Friends of the Public Garden and the City on the implementation of the master plan for Boston Common and supported the successful renovation work of the Child Fountain.
In continued partnership with the City, the BHCA is also an active leading participant in the community meetings for the proposed West End Library redevelopment. Written comments were offered on the redevelopment plans, reflecting the community’s support for affordable housing and the excitement of a new library nearby while emphasizing the necessity to respect the historical significance of the Otis House and overall fabric of the neighborhood. The BHCA continues to participate in meetings for the project, and maintains regular communications with City officials, other community representatives and various interested parties.
A Home Rule Petition to expand the Beacon Hill Historic District was approved by the City in April of 2023. The effort to expand the Historic District is long awaited and will enhance the BHCA’s preservation goals by including all of the North Slope within the Beacon Hill Historic District. The North Slope is home to the Museum of African American History, the African Meeting House, and several sites connected to the Underground Railroad, and was the center of Boston’s early Black community. The Vilna Shul, a center for Jewish Culture and the only synagogue of its era remaining in Boston, is also a prominent feature on the North Slope. We continue to advocate for State approval of the Home Rule Petition – entitled An Act Enhancing Historic Beacon Hill
On behalf of the Board of Directors, our staff, and Committee members, thank you for your support of the BHCA’s mission to preserve and enhance the quality of residential life in Beacon Hill. We are neighbors helping neighbors – passionately and thoughtfully. We greatly appreciate your continued participation, and we look forward to seeing you around the Hill.
Sincerely,
Meghan Awe Joshua Leffler Chair of the Board President

The Committee’s mission is to help maintain the architectural integrity of the Beacon Hill National Historical Landmark district.
The Committee reviews properties that have submitted applications to the Beacon Hill Architectural Commission, which is part of the City of Boston’s Landmarks Commission. The Commission holds monthly hearings on applications for Certificates of Appropriateness, and reviews architectural violations in accordance with Ch. 616 of the Acts of 1955, as amended. Massachusetts State Legislation created the Historic Beacon Hill District in 1955.
to being read into public record by Committee members attending the Commission hearing.
FY 2024 Highlights:
● During the year, from May 2023 to April 2024, 105 applications were reviewed by the Committee (13 violations and 92 design reviews).
● Changes related to windows, roof decks, paint, and technology were substantial areas of focus, and are expected to remain so going forward.
Prior to the Commission hearings on the third Thursday of each month, our Committee reviews the applications and visits each of the sites. The Committee invites applicants to an open meeting, typically on the Monday prior to the Commission hearing, to discuss their applications and answer questions, to assist applicant neighbors in any way we are able with the formal approval process. Following this Committee meeting, the Committee prepares written commentary for each application, which is reviewed by the BHCA Board prior
● Video doorbells and other advanced building entry systems, along with electric vehicle charging systems and other technologies represent an increasing challenge to the Committee and the Beacon Hill Historic District: balancing resident neighbor needs and desires for technology and its advantages with the requirement to incorporate that technology thoughtfully (and preferably invisibly) into the historic fabric of our neighborhood.
● FY 2024 saw an increase in neighbor applicant attendance at Committee meetings, and feedback from attendees continues to be very positive and complimentary. Since we expanded our process to include pro-actively inviting applicants in early calendar 2023, approximately 60 neighbor applicants have attended our Committee meetings; over 40 attended in FY 2024. We will continue expanding and encouraging neighbor involvement, and look forward to helping even more neighbors in Fiscal 2025.

The Planning & Oversight (“Planning”) Committee serves as an umbrella committee to initiate, monitor, and oversee the BHCA’s efforts on long-range issues that affect our neighborhood. The Planning Committee also tracks the BHCA’s involvement with the various committees and groups in the City of Boston, in order to strengthen the organization’s voice in governmental and community planning on all projects or proposals affecting our neighborhood, as well as to improve the BHCA’s relations with governmental officials and community groups.
During this past year, the Committee’s focus was on the announced plans by the City of Boston to evaluate potential
redevelopment of the current Westend Library site into affordable housing.
● Engaged with key stakeholders
o Established contacts an maintained regular communications with city officials, community representatives, and various interested parties
● Provided input and comments into redevelopment plans
o Formulated and submitted comments to project’s objectives and development guidelines to reflect the interests of the Beacon Hill communities
o Reviewed and commented on the project plan and process for the project
– Hilary Gabrieli and Patrick Lee, Co-Chairs
The Parks & Public Spaces Committee is charged with monitoring and improving the condition of our neighborhood’s greenspaces, primarily focused on the Common, the Public Garden and the Esplanade. These spaces get intensive use, not just from Beacon Hill residents, but from visitors from across the City of Boston and beyond. We also provide support to the friends groups at the Myrtle Street Playground and the Phillips Street Park. These efforts include attention to maintenance and environmental concerns, including trash and waste removal, as well as public safety and homelessness. We monitor the impact of events on our parks, such as the annual “Freedom Rally” (a/k/a “Hempfest”) on the Common, and try to reduce their impact. We continue to work with the Friends of the Public Garden and the City on the implementation of the master plan for Boston Common. Work continues to address the impact of dogs running off-leash on the Common, and related wear to the turf. Even more than last year, the committee spent extensive time working with the Esplanade Association, the state Department of Conversation and Recreation, and the City of Boston to address the increasingly persistent encampments in and around the Esplanade. In that regard, we are appreciative of the efforts of City Councilor Durkan’s office and city officials and look forward to receipt of a longer-term plan from DCR to address this important issue.
The Zoning and Licensing Committee (“ZLC”) meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. to hear from applicants seeking either zoning relief (variances or conditional use permits) from the Zoning Board of Appeal (“ZBA”) or new/modified common victual (“CV”) or alcoholic beverage licenses from the Boston Licensing Board (“Licensing Board”). All meetings continued to be held virtually this past year. The ZLC provides a forum for community input into such applications. Applicants for zoning relief are asked to appear at a ZLC meeting where they are given the opportunity to describe their projects and rationales for the requested relief. Local restaurants, innkeepers, and merchants are similarly invited to present their licensing requests. The ZLC notifies abutters in advance and encourages both abutters and any other interested neighbors to attend and contribute to ZLC discussions. The ZLC takes into consideration all community input, including concerns from affected neighbors, as well as the BHCA’s overall desire to protect and improve the quality of life for Beacon Hill residents. It also considers the BHCA’s commitment to maintaining active streetscapes and supporting neighborhood-oriented retail and service businesses on Charles and Cambridge Streets which are designated by the Zoning Code as ‘Local Business’ districts. After meeting with applicants, the ZLC makes recommendations to the BHCA’s Board of Directors to either oppose or not oppose each application. The BHCA Board then conveys its positions to the ZBA or the Licensing Board so that community views are considered in the City’s zoning and licensing decisions.
The ZLC remained active during the past year. From May 2022 through April 2023, the ZLC considered a total 13 proposals, up from 11 proposals in each of the past three years. This year’s total consisted of 7 commercial and 6 residential applications. On the commercial side, the relief involved 3 requests for changes to or transfer of liquor licenses, 2 new Common Victual aka “CV” licenses, 2 conditional-use permits (one on Charles Street and one on Cambridge Street), and 1 forbidden-use permit on Charles Street.
The residential relief was less varied this year. There were 6 applicants seeking relief for excessive Floor Area Ratio (“FAR”), and 1 of those applicants was also seeking relief for insufficient side yard setback. Two applicants appeared more than once during the past year, as they returned with revised plans in response to ZLC feedback. Of the 13 proposals considered, the BHCA Board of Directors ultimately voted not to oppose 12, in some cases with a ‘Good Neighbor Agreement’ to be negotiated with the applicant. One commercial applicant withdrew their application. Overall, we consider the ZLC to have had both an active and productive past year.

The BHCA Safety Committee is the liaison between Beacon Hill and the Boston Police, Area A1. As such, we attend the monthly Advisory Committee at the Police Station. Here, Captain Martin and Sgt Crossen discuss what has gone on in the last month, crime statistics and arrests.
We then discuss anything that is happening in our area. The meetings are open, and all are welcome. They can be very interesting.
If there is an issue that Beacon Hill is concerned with, we have "Town Meetings" for the community to meet with Police and any other agency involved.
Recent issues have been:
1. Encampments at Charles Street/Longfellow Bridge
2. Serial shoplifting offenders
3. Reckless driving by UberEATS/Door Dash Motorbikes
Please contact the BHCA if you have any concerns about crime or quality of life problems, and we can alert the Police. We are fortunate to have a very responsive and caring Police at Area A. As the Police always say, you are the eyes and ears of the Police. If you see something that should concern you, please contact us
The Tree Committee of the BHCA works to ensure the tree canopy in our neighborhood stays healthy and vibrant. The committee, in partnership with the Joint Charles Street Committee, also oversees the care and maintenance of the tree pits and tree guards on Charles Street. This year the committee coordinated with the city regarding needed tree pruning and tree replacement throughout the neighborhood. We are also requesting that the city continue to push contractors who install new trees to do a better job of ongoing care and watering because we are losing too many young trees.
As is true each year, the committee will be working this spring with the Joint Charles Street Committee on the care and maintenance of the tree pits and tree guards on Charles Street. We’ve had great support from the city’s Department of Public Works and from the District 8 City Councilor in getting trash cans power washed and the street cleaned on Charles Street.
The BHCA also funds and organizes the annual maintenance of the beautiful and historic elm trees on Mt. Vernon Street. The technology/approach for treating elm trees has changed over time and we are lucky to have an arborist using the most advanced technology available to take care of our Beacon Hill Elms. They continue to be under stress, and a few are showing signs of wear and tear, some exacerbated by nearby construction. The cost of the ongoing annual maintenance of the elms is rising and we will need to consider ways to raise additional funds to preserve these wonderful pillars of our neighborhood.
The committee has more work to do, including fundraising to support our neighborhood-wide tree canopy and the beautification of Charles Street. We are also going to have a renewed push to educate our community about maintaining the trees in front of our homes and will share a guide for the installation of tree guards.
The Streets & Sidewalks and the Green Committee had a very productive year.
Key accomplishments include the following:
● With the help of the BHCA Executive Director, a walkthrough was organized with PWD to show them specific streets on Beacon Hill which were in urgent need of repair. A list of key streets was compiled and sent to PWD to start the repair process.
● Those streets were then repaired by PWD in October - December 2023. It was understood that those repairs would be the minimum necessary in order to keep the streets functioning. We would like to thank PWD for their efforts in this endeavor.
● The Committee managed a Fall Clean up in October 2023. The timing of this clean-up was designed to predate the annual BHCA Halloween celebrations.
● The Committee participated in and helped manage the Love Your Block clean-up jointly with the city, on Saturday, April 6th, 2024.
● The committee strongly recommended “same day trash pick-up” (trash to be picked up between 6AM-9AM on day of pick-up with no overnight trash put out) to the BHCA BOD where it was passed unanimously as a resolution, which was then taken to two Boston City Council hearing on the new trash contract.
● With the help of the BHCA Executive Director, new city trash cans were set up in a few key locations in the interior of Beacon Hill. These will be maintained by the city, for which we are very grateful. Some were removed due to the prevalence of household trash, but one at a critical location was re-installed. The support behind this plan from residents has been immense as the trash problem has gotten much worse. The Committee continues to remind the community that these trash bins are not for household trash.
● The green subcommittee and BHCA office have consistently included ‘sustainability tips’ in the BHCA newsletter.

The Events Committee supports the Beacon Hill Civic Association’s mission by hosting events that encourage dialogue, friendship, civic engagement, and new membership. We host a variety of activities, ranging from historic preservation roundtables to community gatherings and open forums.

Two of our ongoing events continued throughout the year… the Meet and Greet, and the Young Friends Gatherings. We returned to 75 Chestnut for the monthly Meet and Greets as Tom Kershaw and his team are gracious to us every month. The Young Friends group is quite active with their monthly meetings alternating at various venues. Attendance has continued to grow in both groups, and participation continues to increase as does the BHCA memberships that come out of these events.
One of the first events was the annual reception at the Otis House Museum in the spring. Tip Tap restaurant did a fabulous job with the food. Music was provided by Jeremy Bell and tours were given of the Otis House. It was well attended and is always well received by many.
To honor members, we introduced a “members only” event in May which consisted of an evening cruise in the Boston Harbor on the beautiful vessel, The Valiant. It was catered by Cobblestones and sold out. It will now become an annual event.
The Fall HillFest in September is always a huge hit within the Beacon Hill Community. We had musical performances by several local artists and a live band for dancing in the street. The usual fare of hotdogs, ice cream, beer and wine were served. It is always a great way to introduce the local nonprofits while enabling neighbors to enjoy being together. Halloween is always a highlight of the year for Beacon Hill. Another new event in 2024 was to continue to support the growth of the young friends in Beacon Hill. A special night was planned for them at the UMass Club. A beautiful venue, food and music was provided. This will now also become an annual offering.
The annual Garlands and Greens was another successful event and quickly sells out. Much support is given by Charles Street merchants for the raffle items and as always, the use of the Hampshire House is generously donated by Tom Kershaw.
The first weekend of December was decorating time and a wonderful group of volunteers hit the streets over the course of two days to decorate the entire neighborhood. This year the poles were decorated with wreaths in lieu of the garland. This allows for a much less labor-intensive effort, yet it was still beautiful.
The year 2024 is already planned and in the works with a plethora of events designed to engage members and encourage new membership including bringing back the fabulous dinner on Mount Vernon Street.
The members of the Events Committee understand that bringing people together is a way to strengthen our community and make it a great place to live. Whether in person or virtually, we seek opportunities to build friendships and connections, and in that way provide for the social needs of the neighborhood, while also encouraging further engagement with the Civic Association.

This past year the Governance Committee has been working with the co-chairs of the Zoning & Licensing Committee to update the Zoning & Licensing Committee’s policies governing its review of zoning and liquor licensing matters. The policy update is designed to reflect current practices and procedures used by the Zoning & Licensing Committee when reviewing applications from the community for changes to zoning uses or for zoning variances, and for new or revised or transferred liquor or beer and wine licenses. Once this process is complete, the Governance Committee will present the updated policies to the BHCA Board of Directors for final approval.
The Governance Committee has also been examining the current process for onboarding new board members. The Governance Committee is recommending a more robust process for education and orienting new board members. The Governance Committee is also considering asking all board members to participate in a self-evaluation, as well as a board evaluation, process.
To assist new board leadership, the Governance Committee is considering conducting an exit interview of the current board chair and president to discuss their challenges and successes as well as their recommendations and guidance to new board leadership.
The Governance Committee also decided to conduct periodic reviews and updates of existing charters for the various board committees.

The Joint Charles Street Committee is a collaboration between the Beacon Hill Civic Association (BHCA) and the Beacon Hill Business Association (BHBA). The Committee works on all matters related to Charles Street including the streetscape, trash and recycling removal, zoning, safety, traffic in all forms, and parking. The Committee collaborates with other BHCA committees as well as the City and the Commonwealth. The Committee encourages active participation from residents and business owners.
1. Organized monthly volunteer-based cleanings of Charles Street
2. Continued to engage with stakeholders and the City to formulate concepts for multimodal improvements to Charles Street
3. Worked with local law enforcement to identify opportunities to improve public safety on Charles Street
4. Worked with local law enforcement to identify opportunities to improve public safety on Charles Street – Diana Coldren and Ali Ringenburg, Co-Chairs
Under the auspices of the BHCA, the Beacon Hill Nonprofit Neighbors has been meeting regularly since November 2003. The BHCA formed the group in order to explore the common interests and unique situations of nonprofits on Beacon Hill.
This group, with representatives from more than 35 organizations, meets on an ad hoc basis to share knowledge and experience, and to collaborate on activities that benefit their members and the community. Meetings serve as a forum where participants can discuss the challenges they face and share best practice ideas on how to resolve those challenges.
The Nonprofit Neighbors annually participate in the Beacon Hill Fall HillFest in September to educate the public about the mission of their institutions and increase participation by Beacon Hill residents in their programs. They are encouraged to distribute informational materials, sponsor activities for children and adults, and offer walking and museum tours.
– Patricia Tully, BHCA Executive Director
Codman Island was created in 1987 by an agreement between the BHCA and the City to beautify and enhance the area. The responsibility for its maintenance belongs to the BHCA but the stewardship of Codman Island is shared between the BHCA, Beacon Hill Garden Club and the Friends of the Public Garden. Each organization contributes annually to a maintenance fund; BHGC volunteers clean and maintain the island’s plantings regularly during the year. The committee works with the Department of Public Works for improvements with a priority on safety.
The cleaning and maintenance of the island continued with efforts of volunteers from the Beacon Hill Garden Club.
The city installed new lighting on the island two years ago and this has improved the safety record with no reports of vehicle damage to the area this past year, which used to happen on a regular basis. The committee continues to explore up lighting of the three gingko trees on the island and hoped to install them this past year but had difficulties finding an electrical vendor. The hope is to work with the electrical vendor, who installed the Comm Ave Mall lights for The Friend of the Public Garden. The hope is this lighting will not only beautify the area but add for the continued safety of the island and prevention of any vehicular damage. The Streets and Public Works Department has a restoration project for the curbs and brick sidewalks on their schedule. It has been scheduled but the BHCA will continue to advocate for these upgrades at this busy intersection.
– Leslie Adam, Chair
The Cambridge Street Community Development Corporation (CSCDC) comprises representatives of groups interested in advancing Cambridge Street as a vital commercial destination and balancing commercial and residential considerations in its re-development, use and maintenance. Current member organizations include The Beacon Hill Civic Association, MGH, MEEI, Suffolk University and other large-scale abutters to the street. By bringing residential, institutional, and commercial viewpoints together, CSCDC provides an interactive forum in which to address issues affecting Cambridge Street.
This past year CSCDC continued to maintain the median and sidewalk-based landscaping that helps the corridor serve as a gateway to the City of Boston. This service is performed via a third-party commercial landscaper. There are no other major initiatives at this point.
– Ben Colburn, President
“The Boston Groundwater Trust (the “Trust”) was established by the Boston City Council to monitor groundwater levels in sections of the City where the integrity of building foundations supported by wood pilings is threatened by low groundwater levels. The Trust’s primary responsibilities are to maintain our network of approximately 800 observation wells, measure groundwater elevations in those wells – typically 6-8 times per year - and distribute the data to the public and appropriate agencies. The Trustees, who include representatives of the Beacon Hill Civic Association, the Neighborhood Association of Back Bay, the Ellis South End Neighborhood Association, and other groups, as well as several City agencies, meet bimonthly and review all operations of the Trust, set policy, and provide guidance to the Trust’s Executive Director. There are also nine volunteer members of the Technical Advisory Committee, all local engineers and scientists who meet to help the Trust interpret the results of its well readings and develop strategies for addressing problems.
Public outreach and awareness endeavors have continued throughout this past year as the Trust presented the groundwater issue to interested residents, City departments and agencies, neighborhood groups, law firms, and real estate brokerages. One of the Trust’s goals this past year has been to work closely with various City agencies in helping to further develop the City’s “Green Infrastructure” (“GI”) programs, particularly with reference to replenishing groundwater throughout the City. GI is an umbrella term for stormwater management features that mimic nature. GI features use plants, soil and other natural materials to remove pollutants and allow stormwater to absorb back into the ground. These features help prevent flooding and reduce the amount of polluted water that goes to the City’s water bodies. GI also has many environmental, social and economic benefits. The more GI installed throughout the City the more rainfall and snow melt is absorbed into the ground. This helps maintain and elevate groundwater levels, thus preserving the structures supported on wood pilings. The City of Boston has committed to increasing GI wherever feasible and has invited the Trust to help their efforts by including the Trust in weekly policy and coordination meetings.
The Trust also this past year expanded its remote monitoring project for groundwater levels. These automated devices allow us to collect groundwater-level data in real-time. They rest on top of the observation well riser pipe and fit securely in our roadway boxes as shown below. After initially deploying five remote monitoring devices in 2022, in 2023 and 2024, the Trust expanded its remote monitoring project for groundwater levels and added 25 more automated devices. These devices allow the BGT to collect groundwater level information in real-time by cellular data transmission on a daily basis, in contrast to the manual monitoring program employed across the remainder of our network, which measures groundwater levels 6-8 times per year. If water levels drop, we’ll be alerted sooner rather than later. As the Trust reviews the program over the rest of 2024, we will decide whether to increase the number of automated devices for 2025 and beyond.”
