U.S. National Register of Historic Places A landscaped arrangement of granite steps, knee-
walls and banisters with cast-iron parapets ascending to
a large plaza overlooking Commercial Street and the
Mystic River, the terrace was designed in the 1890s by
landscape architect Charles Eliot of Olmsted, Olmsted
and Eliot, and built by Boston contractor Perkins &
