On the Facebook site you linked for this photo, it says 1930. That's about right, because looking at historicaerials.com, the 1938 aerial photo on it shows the Mass DPW building on Nashua Street already built, but in this aerial photo it wasn't yet built.
Thanks for the great aerial. Boston and its environs were quite the industrial and railroad powerhouse back then.

If only I had a time machine and could walk around down there for an afternoon…

Taking a tour in 1930 on the trolley cars, elevated trains, and extensive passenger rail lines all over the greater Boston area and beyond would be the ultimate trip.
