Geocache Description:

This is a traditional cache along the HarborWalk in Boston. Beware of muggles and bring a pen.


India Wharf, built in 1807 by one of Boston's most famous architects, Charles Bullfinch, was once the departure point for ships headed to India and the Far East. Today, the wharf is gone, and the HarborWalk winds past the Harbor Towers luxury high-rise condominium complex and a large metal sculpture by David von Schlegell. "Untitled Landscape" (1964), the large metal sculpture, has been a landmark on the harbor for years. A marker is located next to the sculpture which describes the artist and his work. The Harbor Towers, designed by architecture firm of Pei Cobb Freed and Associates, were the first high-rise residential buildings on Boston's waterfront, and at 40 stories are the city's tallest residential towers. In 2002, a reconstructed HarborWalk opened around Harbor Towers, providing for the first time in a decade complete public access around the complex as well as linkages to the HarborWalk at Rowes Wharf and Long Wharf.
