== History ==
In 1989 the editors of the West Ender Newsletter and members of the West End Historical
Association developed a preliminary plan for a West End Museum. In 1991 The Old West End Housing Corporation (OWEHC) was formed as a Community Development Corporation (CDC) with the mission of developing affordable housing for former West End residents who were displaced by the Urban Renewal of the 1950s when their houses were seized by eminent domain.〔Bagley, S.H. “'Greatest neighborhood' remembered in West End Museum created by folks transplanted to Somerville.” Wicked Local: Somerville (Somerville, MA), December 1, 2007.〕 After helping to develop affordable housing for former West Enders at West End Place at 150 Staniford Street, Boston, MA 02114, The OWEHC was awarded a commercial space, in 2002, for its offices along with the stipulation that it develop a West End Visitor Center.〔Belmont, Vivienne. “West End Residents Struggle to Raise Neighborhood's Profile: Old Loyalties Survive.” Boston: City in Transition.〕 In 2003 The Bostonian Society donated and relocated the “Last Tenement” exhibit to 150 Staniford St. This was an exhibition displayed in the Old State House from October 1992 through April 1994, rendering the plight of the West End neighborhood. The exhibit laid the foundation for a permanent West End Museum. In 2010 Members of the OWEHC along with West End residents formed a committee with the goal to establish a permanent 501(c) 3 non-profit called The West End Museum, Inc.〔Walsh, Colleen. “West End Museum set to open in 2004.” The Beacon Hill Times (Boston, MA), January 27, 2004.〕
