Aerial view of Cambridge with Charles River past Harvard University
Bring a little Cambridge and Boston home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
Between checking a list and leaving the kitchen, there is a moment to look at the small picture on the fridge. Harvard's riverfront brings Weld Boathouse and Anderson Bridge into a shared Charles setting, joining a place for rowing with a route across the water.
This reach of the Charles brings together Harvard's riverfront buildings and crossings. Weld Boathouse dates to 1907 and Anderson Bridge to 1915. Their different roles, rowing and everyday passage, show how the river became part of the university landscape while remaining a shared boundary between Boston and Cambridge.
The Harvard reach connects two different river uses, rowing and passage, while keeping Boston and Cambridge within the same broader university landscape. It makes a small gift that can find a place beside an ordinary household list.
