DESCRIPTION:A guided tour of the West End Museum's permanent exhibit\, in
 cluding    their photographs\, artifacts and archival materials that tel
 l the story    of the immigrant experience in the west end through the u
 rban renewal   of  the 1960s and the displacement of the people there.\n
 "The Last Tenement" exhibition\, originally set up in 1992 at the Old   
  State House by the Bostonian Society through a grant by the National   
  Endowment for the Humanities and relocated to the West End Museum in   
  2006\, is now permanently housed in its own dedicated 1100 square foot 
    space.The exhibit documents the history of the West End during    the
  immigrant era from 1850 to 1958 - its topographical history\, its    ar
 chitecture\, its nineteenth-century blooming as a desirable residential 
    area\, its evolution into a densely populated urban district of    wo
 rking-class immigrants and a small community of middle-class    professi
 onals and students over twenty different ethnic backgrounds. The    West
  End also is known nationally to generations of students of urban    pla
 nning and sociology as a textbook example of negative results from    th
 e 1950s federal urban renewal program. The lesson learned from the    ra
 zing of Boston's West End have instructed city planners and spurred    n
 eighborhood activists to cope more successfully with urban problems.\nVi
