Now it's coming back to me how it looked (just) before it was converted. The Chevy dealership was there with parking on the second floor, I think. Got my Chevelle serviced there!

What if it wasn't "and wom*n" but "New England Wom*n", as in "New England Women's Club" or "New England Women's and Children's Hospital"?

You guys are amazing! I never imagined anyone would be able to figure out the location of the buildings so quickly. Thank you very much.
On the question of St. Lukes Church, there are three buildings at the site. If you google on "7 Luke's Road, Boston, MA" you'll find the side of the church visible in the old photo.
I found two more photos that may be an even more difficult test of your skills:
photo 4:
photo 5:
#5 looks reminds me of two building one, located along McGrath Highway perpendicular to Lechmere T Station busway. The building was rennovated in relatively recent history. There's by chance another building on McGrath Highway a bit further down near the Artiste's complex directly across from Twin City that resembles #4.
The second building that looks like #5 is found along the Orange Line in-between Assembly Square and Sullivan T-station. If you're on the orange line outbound heading toward Wellington you can see a bridge rise to go over the Mystic River. I believe this bridge carries the Newburyport Commuter rail branch. Just as the bridge begins to elevate next to Assembly Square Mall you can see a glimpse of the building that looks- a bit like #5 I counted the windows going across and it matchs the same number of bays, I haven't caught the height yet to match the stories of the structure. But it reminds me of those.
There is also *I believe* another building along the Red Line after Salvin Hill heading towards Ashmont right around the split for Braintree somewhere around there is another building along those tracks which I think looks like #4. I could be wrong. Somewhere around when you see the big wind turbine.
