The third photo brings back memories of being a 9 year old and trying to walk the perimeter of the fort on the base stones. Thanks.

You can see the nearly exact same time rear view of the Intercontinental in The Departed.

I have been saying for decades that the T should sell the Air Rights over the tracks west of Dot Ave, north of the Broadway Bridge for a waterfrontish arena for the Celtics. It has nearly as big a footprint as the Garden and the abutting retail / towers.

Non-Union development sidewalk cf out front.

1989 or 1990 based on Lincoln Wharf being renovation in the North End photo and the Bank of New England sign still up on 150 Causeway.
