Washington Street

The Now Closed Walgreens
That is what is there now. That is Vernon Street on the left.
The Walgreens survived 16 years. Advantage - Timothy Smith.
Too easy!
The store at left is Alex T. Dunn, Roxbury Clothing Co.; and the street number 2281 is visible on Mr. Smith's store. Hence, 2281 Washington Street. At the left is the corner of Vernon Street. The Walgreen's parking lot is on the site today.

Washington Street near Massachusetts Avenue. I seem to remember riding the El Downtown and seeing that sign in that area.
Doh!
Looks like I saw it coming back from Downtown instead.
The Answer!
Thanks for playing, folks! Washington Street at Vernon Street is correct. This was taken on the "west side of Washington Street, north corner of Vernon Street' on December 11, 1899.
