Sometime late 60s-early 70s judging by the cars.

     The building in the back of the old picture is at least six stories tall.

That's probably a building that was torn down as part of the refurb into the new coast guard compound.

Thanks for playing folks! This photo was taken on December 22, 1974 on Hanover Street. The photo shows the North End Christmas Parade. We'll be posting more photos from the parade tomorrow.

In the extreme foreground, lower right, you can see part of a ladder truck from the Boston Fire Department. Looks like the photographer might even have been standing on the back of the truck.

Its the Northend Hanover Street around 1970 or so
