Park Street is a small but historic road in the center of Boston, Massachusetts.

History
Park Street was laid out in 1804, initially as Park Place, replacing the previous Sentry Street.[2]
In the 1880s, the feminist Woman's Journal was published on Park Street. Houghton Mifflin was also headquartered here beginning in the late 19th century.[3]
