## Parking at Harvard Film Archive on Quincy Street

The Harvard Film Archive is at 19 Quincy Street in Cambridge, inside Harvard University’s Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts. The venue’s directions identify a limited parking area behind the building for accessible parking, with reservations handled by phone or email during regular business hours (harvardfilmarchive.org). Drivers with an accessibility placard can use this arrangement rather than searching around Harvard Square.

For general visits, the venue’s parking directions point drivers toward paid public parking in Harvard Square, including Harvard Square Parking Garage at 65 JFK Street and Charles Square Garage at 1 Bennett Street (boxoffice.harvard.edu). The site is 0.5 mi from Cambridge center, so a central garage can be combined with a short walk to Quincy Street.

## Harvard Square Pressure and Street Parking Around the HFA

Harvard Square is the main paid-parking area identified for visits to the HFA, making film screenings and busy campus periods more demanding for drivers than a quiet neighborhood stop. The venue directs visitors to public garages rather than presenting general visitor parking at 19 Quincy Street (boxoffice.harvard.edu).

Accessible parking behind the building is limited and requires advance contact during regular business hours (bostix.org). The HFA directions route drivers from the Turnpike via Exit 18, marked “Cambridge-Allston,” before continuing through the stoplights (harvardfilmarchive.org).

## Parksy Parking Spaces Near 19 Quincy Street

The closest priced Parksy option is a secure 24/7 private parking space in Cambridge, MA, 327 yd from the site, at $6 a day. Its location makes it a practical choice for a screening when a nearby private space is preferable to a larger Harvard Square garage.

A covered valet space at 73 Bennett St is 0.4 mi away and costs $14 a day. A covered space at 45 University Rd is 0.5 mi away for $8 a day, while a private monthly space near Porter and Harvard Square is 0.6 mi away at $150 a month.

## Harvard Square Garages and Harvard Parking Options

Harvard Square Parking Garage at 65 JFK Street is a named paid public facility recommended in the venue’s parking directions (boxoffice.harvard.edu). Charles Square Garage at 1 Bennett Street is another named paid public option in the same guidance, giving drivers two established garage locations to consider near the museum.

Harvard Art Museums identifies Broadway Garage as another area parking facility and says permits must be purchased online through the Harvard Campus Services system. Those permits range from $11 to $22 (harvardartmuseums.org). The venue’s directions also identify paid public parking in Harvard Square as the general visitor solution (boxoffice.harvard.edu).

## Harvard Station and the Walk to the HFA

Harvard station is the nearest rail stop, 0.2 mi from the Harvard Film Archive, with a 5 min walk to 19 Quincy Street. This is the simplest car-free connection for visitors arriving on the subway and avoids searching for a space around Harvard Square.

The HFA is 0.5 mi from Cambridge center, placing the venue within a walkable central Cambridge area. Drivers using Harvard Square garages can leave the car near the rail station and continue to Quincy Street on foot, while subway passengers can follow the short station-to-venue route.
