Where did you get this from?<br />Diane HichbornAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249059295891694471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332335051560713217.post-31969477407549055332013-03-15T08:44:38.180-04:002013-03-15T08:44:38.180-04:00I recently reread all of Louisa May Alcott's b...I recently reread all of Louisa May Alcott's books and a lot of her short stories on my Kindle. Seeing the photo, especially the one of the horsecar, and the woman getting on, really helps in visualizing what was going on in the books! Thanks so much, Mark!GSGreatEscaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362042499522934670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332335051560713217.post-53421779274552177312013-03-01T13:39:40.380-05:002013-03-01T13:39:40.380-05:00The original buildings were wood, and extended bac...The original buildings were wood, and extended back to Hanover street. Those were apparently torn down, and the brick building was build at the Court street end. The building separated Court street from Tremont Row, as shown above. It was torn down when traffic increased and the two narrow passages on either side of the building were causing traffic blocks.

I wonder if the footprint of the building might need to be rotated a quarter turn clockwise though. The top photo leads me to believe the building is facing more Southwesterly than southeasterly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332335051560713217.post-2258502104481140652013-02-28T10:44:13.337-05:002013-02-28T10:44:13.337-05:00Beautiful images of old Boston!Beautiful images of old Boston!rheahttp://rheabecker.comnoreply@blogger.com
