Stay on Cambridge Street until you reach the third traffic light where you will turn right onto Lincoln Street. Lincoln immediately curves sharply left and runs parallel to the Mass Pike. 280 Lincoln Street (a 2-story, brick building) is about a quarter of a mile down, on the right. There is on-street parking. Enter by the front door and walk down one flight of steps.

From Storrow Drive (Westbound)
Take the Mass Pike exit (next exit after going under the BU Bridge). Turn left onto Cambridge Street at the end of the exit ramp. Go straight past the Mass Pike entrance (small sign on right indicating Pike entrance). Cambridge street will go up over the Pike. After passing over the Pike, proceed to the third traffic light and turn right onto Lincoln Street. Lincoln immediately curves sharply left and runs parallel to the Mass Pike. 280 Lincoln Street (a 2-story, brick building) is about a quarter of a mile down, on the right. There is on-street parking.

At the end of a very long block you will come to a traffic light at the intersection with Western Avenue. Go straight through the intersection (remaining on N. Harvard St.), and then take the first right onto Franklin Street. This little street twists and turns through the neighborhood. Stay on it until it ends at Lincoln Street.
