Vintage photos of:
B-BOT: 1906
Boston circa 1906. "Board of Trade, Broad Street." Now the Boston Oakwood apartments. 8x10 inch glass negative, Detroit Publishing Co. View full size.
Delivery wagon
The wagon on the far corner has a number of what looks like metal cans with pour spouts. My first thought was lamp/coal oil delivery. I would have thought Boston would be electrified (at least the more affluent areas, there's a street light on the other corner) in 1906. Any guesses as to what these really are?
Street surface
The pavement (or lack of) has a lot of catching up to do to match the elegance of this structure.
[Looks like brick pavement. -tterrace]
