A few years old but pretty neat: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.370...no-pi-0-ya109.00758-ro-0-fo100!7i12000!8i6000
This is awesome! I was just wondering a couple weeks ago when we'd get an update to see how the Seaport has grown.Just a FYI - Google Maps has updated their satellite imagery so we can now see the impact of projects like One Dalton, Hub on Causeway, etc.

Found this set from 1970. Not quite posting all of them so click into flickr for a couple more. Some of them are a bit tough to stomach, mainly due to all the parking lots but also some buildings I wish were still here. Also a lot more smokestacks, some of them very tall.
60 State under construction in this first one.

Rowes Wharf is the single most significant building on the waterfront. What a difference that place makes to the surroundings.
That is the biggest difference between Boston and so many other US cities: places to store automobiles are so much less evident. parking lots created at a time of high taxes, low values and slack demand for upper story space are almost gone. Parking garages aren’t such a routine sight along the street either. Some of the prominent ones built in the 50s and 60s like St James and Post Office Sq garages are long gone.Judging from, especially those first few pics, cities back then existed as places to store automobiles.
