Boswell Wall of Fame


The Wall of Fame was built in 1998 in Boswell Square when the date stone from the demolished Boswell School was returned as a gift to the College Hill neighborhood.  In a joint effort with the Nautilus Club (est 1894), the College Hill Association dedicated the wall as a memorial to early College Hill Residents who made significant contributions to society.  Each year additional persons are honored with a plaque on the wall and, when possible, their homes in College Hill are included as part of the Autumn Tour.
