Only guessing that way because of the flat terrain and the cobblestones remind me *a little bit* of what I saw underneath the pavement one time a while ago when they were tearing up D Street for a construction project.

..was beautiful.

New Boston is also but not as nice as old Boston.

These "boxey-looking" condos/apartments are so bland and blah....there is fairly new one around 381 West Broadway in SoBo. Absolutely disgusting. How did that ever get approved?

Usually there are a ton of guesses on these... I keep checking back to see where this is! I love the old row houses!

Thanks for playing, folks! This is Alexander Street from Dudley Street (Upham's Corner area) looking south. The date is June 4, 1903
