The folks at the Boston City Archives wonder if you can place this scene (a couple of signs that might make it a bit too easy blacked out). See it larger.

The Clyde Lines sailed from Lewis Wharf in East Boston, so I'm thinking that's what we see in the picture.
For confirmation about their location, see this flyer being sold on e-bay:

Is in the North End. This would have been where One Lewis Wharf is today. The building to the left still exists but with a new roof.

Because the MBTA ferry operators keep calling it Lewis Wharf. But you are probably right that the picture is the North End's Lewis Wharf.

Only the larger wharf building still exists and has undergone a pretty significant retrofit.

Thanks for playing, folks! This is indeed Atlantic Avenue at Lewis Wharf. The photo was taken on Nov 23, 1900.
