Here's a sweet one. The 1969 proposed Route 2 interchange at Alewife Brook Parkway. The view faces north. Route 2 to Lexington goes off to the left. The Red Line extension curves west towards Belmont/Waltham instead of Arlington. I grew up about two blocks from this location.
what's truly terrifying is the swath of tract-housing the artist envisioned for poor arlington and belmont. yikes.
you think that dense, non-homogenous, non grid-style area in the upper and upper-left portion of the photo is accurately depicted by the tract houses in the same area of the 1969 render? ok.
My guess would be Eastie based on the name, but that's all I've got.
MORE!!! NEED MORE 60S RENDERINGS!!!
Also who did that unbuilt 60 State? It looks just like 90 3rd Ave in NYC https://www.vno.com/office/property/909-third-avenue/3311685/landing
