From that position, I'd say that you're probably at the top of the Pru Tower.Cool view of Parcel 12 in this Reddit post

Great shot! I love the architecture of the two forefront buildings.6-11-22 from the Church of Christian Science campus --View attachment 25337
There were apartment or boarding room buildings built right up to the track, The Windermere and the Farragut. Must have been loud with trains rumbling 5' from the building.Saw this on Historic Boston.
Pretty big building on Parcel 12.

I remember when the #1 bus line went into the portals shown in your last photo into the same station that the trolley cars used decades prior. I think when the Mass Pike was built, use of that station ended.There were apartment or boarding room buildings built right up to the track, The Windermere and the Farragut.

Here's a pic, the Windermere building on the left. The building in the background center is the TJ Max at Newbury. The Farragut Blg on the right. Probably apartments as well.

Here is the other side of Mass Ave (parcel 13?) The TJ Max building was the transit authority bldg with a carriage trolley house at street level that span over the tracks (parcel 13). You can see the garage entry in the 1932 picture looking down Boylston after the Farragut Bldg. Also the garage entry is still on the Newbury side.
