The inbound side of Beacon St. looking east. From left to right, all buildings still standing:

• The “Royal” apartment building at 1469 Beacon St.
• The “Empire” apartment building (entrance obscured) at 1471 Beacon St.
• The Community Service Kitchen at 1473-75 Beacon St. There are two delivery wagons parked in front.
• 1477 Beacon St., apartment building. The visible entrance has been replaced by a window and made part of an apartment.

The Community Service Kitchen was opened in June 1919 by two young Newton brothers-in-law: Guy E. Wyatt and Roger A. Wheeler, both 23. Wyatt had been in the leather business and Wheeler had left Columbia University to serve in the ambulance corps in World War I. (He was awarded the Croix de Guerre for his role in rescuing wounded French soldiers while under fire.) Initially operating solely as a business that prepared and delivered full meals to customers, it expanded two months after opening to #1475, adding an eat-in restaurant. Despite adopting a name more apt to describe a "soup kitchen", Wyatt and Wheeler targeted middle- and upper-class women in Brookline, Newton, and the Back Bay. It’s advertising read: “Dine at home or dine with us. Announcing Brookline’s newest restaurant. A quiet refined home-like dining room.”

Looking from Aspinwall Hill at the southwest corner of Corey Hill. Behind the trees on the left is Washington Sq., still undeveloped. In the foreground on the far right, on Washington St., is the gasometer. At the top of the hill is the house of Peder Olsen, at 141 Summit Ave.

The widening of Beacon St. has just been completed. Eben Jordan, of the Jordan Marsh department store owns most of the land pictured and is beginning development. He will soon erect a large mansion here.

Looking from Aspinwall Hill across the still undeveloped Washington Sq. to the southwest corner of Corey Hill. In the foreground is the large mansion of Eben Jordan, still under construction here (the stone wall along Beacon St. and the stone pillars which bracket the entrance to Summit Path, the latter still standing, have not been added yet). Jordan, one of the principles of the Jordan Marsh department store, was developing much of the land visible here after the recent widening of Beacon St. Just to the right of the Jordan mansion is a horse-drawn cart carrying construction materials. Behind that is #5 Mason Terrace, under construction, and behind that is #12 Mason Terrace, both are still standing.

North side of Beacon St. just west of Mason Terrace. The house on the left was built in 1892 and purchased by King Gillette, inventor of the safety razor, in 1907. It was torn down in 1944. The house on the right was designed by well-known architect Arthur VInal and built in 1889. It was acquired circa 1900 by Fred McQuestern who also owned land situated behind the house that fronted on Mason Terrace. In 1903, he moved the house up the hill to its present location at 41 Mason Terrace and constructed an even larger house at 1560 Beacon St. That was torn down in 1967 and replaced with a large apartment building.
