Cyclorama
Constructed in 1884, the Cyclorama was originally created to house a painting: Paul Dominique Philippoteaux’s panoramic depiction of The Battle of Gettysburg.
The Cyclorama is on the National Register of Historic Landmarks and features old world industrial charm with modern conveniences.
Enter the building amid the South End’s vibrant retail district and tree-lined streets filled with historic brownstone houses in one of the largest designated historic neighborhoods in the country.
