Tory Row (Brattle Street)
Landmark
The stretch of Brattle Street between Harvard Square and Elmwood was home to wealthy Loyalist families before the Revolution. When these families fled, their elegant mansions were confiscated and used by Continental officers. The street retains its colonial character with several surviving 18th-century homes.
What Happened Here
Named "Tory Row" because so many Loyalist families lived here. Several houses still stand as private residences.
