Looking west on Boylston St. from the Village Square. On the left, from left to right:

• The saw horses of the Simpson Brothers Co. They performed a number of paving jobs in the town.
• 48 Boylston St.: the low stone wall and the two-story brick building still in use in 2026 as a restaurant.
• 50 Boylston St.: apartment building, still standing
• 21 Boylston St.: John H. Shea, Horse Shoer
• 19 Boylston St.: J. O'Day, Stables

On the right is the only known image of the removal of the south side of the Guild Building to accommodate the widening of Boylston St. It was poorly modified and remained a controversial eyesore in the following years. The very next building, 7 – 11 Boylston St., has just been constructed at the new set back.

Looking at the north side of Boylston St. From left to right:

Looking at the north side of Boylston St. during the widening of Boylston St. The presence of what appear to be "Y" connectors in the tracks is not understood. From left to right:

• 145 Boylston St., partial view. This building has an ambiguous identity. There had been a larger rooming house there that was no longer listed after 1901. This smaller structure appears in subsequent atlases but there are no records of it in town directories and, notably, no record of the grocery store that is evident. It needed to move back for the widening of Boylston St. and it appears that it was torn down instead, possibly due to the lack of available expansion room - it was right up against a house behind it on Kerrigan Place.
• Entrance to Kerrigan Place
• 137/135 Boylston St. The house has already been moved back from the street and a wooden walkway is visible over the gap.
• 133 Boylston St. Note the open basement walls - the house is already being prepared for a move back to accommodate the upcoming widening of Boylston St. There is a woman in the doorway – there were two women listed at the address in 1912: Catherine Keenan, 46, and Alice Dawson, 57.

A partial view of the rear of a house facing Kerrigan Place is on the left. To its right is the side of 141 Boylston St. Number 141 needed to move back for the widening of Boylston St. and it appears that it was torn down, possibly due to the lack of available expansion room.
