This is the first in a series of posts looking at different areas or places in Boston and how they looked in the past to what they look like today. For the past pictures I am using different archives (BPL, Boston City Archive, etc), and for the new versions I am visiting these places and trying to match up with the older pictures. Some match up nice, others are more difficult as there are different obstacles that can get in the way (people, new/bigger trees, cars, new buildings…).
