Question: What location is known for preserved examples of 19th-century urban design and was home to the Boston Society of Natural History?
Context: The Archives of Natural History (formerly the "Journal of the Society for the Bibliography of Natural History") is a peer-reviewed academic journal and the official journal of the Society for the History of Natural History.  It publishes papers on the history and bibliography of natural history in its broadest sense, and in all periods and all cultures.  This includes botany, geology, palaeontology and zoology, the lives of naturalists, their publications, correspondence and collections, and the institutions and societies to which they belong.  Bibliographical papers concerned with the study of rare books, manuscripts and illustrative material, and analytical and enumerative bibliographies are also published. The Boston Journal of Natural History (1834-1863) was a scholarly journal published by the Boston Society of Natural History in mid-19th century Massachusetts.  Contributors included Charles T. Jackson, Augustus A. Gould, and others.  Each volume featured lithographic illustrations, some in color, drawn/engraved by E.W. Bouvé, B.F. Nutting, A. Sonrel, "et al." and printed by Pendleton's Lithography and other firms. Back Bay is an officially recognized neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.  It is most famous for its rows of Victorian brownstone homes — considered one of the best preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States — as well as numerous architecturally significant individual buildings, and cultural institutions such as the Boston Public Library.  It is also a fashionable shopping destination (especially Newbury and Boylston Streets, and the adjacent Prudential Center and Copley Place malls) and home to some of Boston's tallest office buildings, the Hynes Convention Center, and numerous major hotels. The Boston Society of Natural History (1830-1948) in Boston, Massachusetts, was an organization dedicated to the study and promotion of natural history.  It published a scholarly journal and established a museum.  In its first few decades, the society occupied several successive locations in Boston's Financial District, including Pearl Street, Tremont Street and Mason Street.  In 1864 it moved into a newly constructed museum building at 234 Berkeley Street in the Back Bay, designed by architect William Gibbons Preston.  In 1951 the society evolved into the Museum of Science, and relocated to its current site on the Charles River. Elizabeth Florette Fisher (November 26, 1873 – April 25, 1941) was one of the first field geologists in the United States.  Born in Boston, Massachusetts, she attended and later taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  She was also the first woman to be sent out by an oil company for a survey, helping to locate oil wells in North-Central Texas during a nationwide oil shortage.  During this same time, she not only continued her career as an instructor at Wellesley College, but also wrote an influential textbook for junior high students called "Resources and Industries of the United States".  She stressed the need for conservation, and believed "unclaimed" land should be used for agriculture.  She was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Geographical Society, and also was a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Boston Society of Natural History.  She died in 1941 from illness. Alwynne (Wyn) Wheeler was a British ichthyologist who was a curator at the Natural History Museum in London.  He was educated at St Egbert’s College, Chingford, and Chingford County High School to Higher School Certificate level, and was unusual in that his subsequent scientific career was achieved despite his never having obtained a University degree.  He joined the London Natural History Society at the age of 13 and served his National Service as a radiographer and medical photographer in the Royal Army Medical Corps in both the United Kingdom and Jamaica, where he joined the Natural History Society of Jamaica.  On leaving the army he applied to the British Museum (Natural History) for a post as an Assistant in the Department of Zoology, starting on 1 June 1950 as an assistant in the Fish Section.  He spent his whole career in the Natural History Museum, retiring in 1989. Founded in 1969, the Boston Society of Vulcans of Massachusetts (Vulcan Society) is a community-based, non-profit organization of Black and Latino firefighters in Boston.  Their mission is to encourage urban Bostonians to pursue public safety careers.  They also promote public safety and fire prevention through education programs and various other resources.  The Boston Society of Vulcans is a member of the International Association of Black Professional Firefighters, an association formed in 1969 in New York City to address the larger issue of racial discrimination faced by African-American firefighters nationwide. The St. Nicholas Historic District, known colloquially as "Striver's Row", is a historic district located on both sides of West 138th and West 139th Streets between Adam Clayton Powell Jr.  Boulevard (Seventh Avenue) and Frederick Douglass Boulevard (Eighth Avenue) in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.  It is both a national and a New York City district, and consists of row houses and associated buildings designed by noted architects and built in 1891-93 by developer David H. King, Jr.  These are collectively recognized as gems of New York City architecture, and "an outstanding example of late 19th-century urban design": Birmingham Natural History Society is a learned society for the study of the natural history of Birmingham, England, and in the surrounding midlands region, and beyond.  It was founded in 1858, and is a registered charity.  The Society has had various names, e.g. in the 1870s it was called the Birmingham Natural History and Microscopical Society, and from 1894 to 1963 the Birmingham Natural History and Philosophical Society. Natural history is the research and study of organisms including animals, fungi and plants in their environment, leaning more towards observational than experimental methods of study.  A person who studies natural history is known as a naturalist or natural historian.  Natural history encompasses scientific research but is not limited to it, with articles nowadays more often published in science magazines than in academic journals.  Grouped among the natural sciences, natural history is the systematic study of any category of natural objects or organisms.  That is a very broad designation in a world filled with many narrowly focused disciplines.  So while natural history dates historically from studies in the ancient Greco-Roman world and the mediaeval Arabic world, through to European Renaissance naturalists working in near isolation, today's field is more of a cross discipline umbrella of many specialty sciences.  For example, geobiology has a strong multi-disciplinary nature combining scientists and scientific knowledge of many specialty sciences.
