Garden Court Street

North End

This street was long noted for its gardens and governors. At No. 4, opposite the site of Governor Hutchinson’s mansion, lived one of Boston’s “Irish governors,” John J. (“Honey Fitz”) Fitzgerald, ward boss, congressman and mayor. His daughter, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, beloved Bostonian and mother of President John F. Kennedy, was born here.
