Demolition for the original Central Artery.
I thought that was a photo from the 60s for a second until I realized the Sudbury's in there. That's awesome.
Has there ever been any talk of developing that parking lot parcel to the west of the BU engineering building?
Great photo. That was my route everyday from Cambridge High and Latin school to Harvard Square back in the 1960s.
Does it?From 1910, looks the same as it did 110 years ago
Yes. Arlington used to stop at Boylston.Does it?
That is the Arlington Street Church, right? For the life of me, I can't see the break in the streetwall where Arlington continues passed Boylston to the south?
So if that is the right intersection, far from "looking the same as it did 110 years ago": pretty much nothing in that photo is still there except for the church and the fencing around the Public Garden.Yes. Arlington used to stop at Boylston.
Correct. In addition to Arlington this shows the portal where the subway trolly is seen turning into the Public Garden.So if that is the right intersection, far from "looking the same as it did 110 years ago": pretty much nothing in that photo is still there except for the church and the fencing around the Public Garden.![]()
I was mostly just thinking the city in general looks the same. Moreso it reminds me of areas of Marlborough Street and Comm Ave. But you're right, when I try to isolate this spot on google maps today I can't match up anything besides the church and the park. So basically, that whole block was replaced by... this?So if that is the right intersection, far from "looking the same as it did 110 years ago": pretty much nothing in that photo is still there except for the church and the fencing around the Public Garden.![]()
