Looking southeast at Boston just east of today’s Aspinwall Park. In the distance on the left is the west side of the Boston’s House of the Good Shepherd on Huntington Ave. and on the right is Boston’s Parker Hill.

This is most likely work on the “Aspinwall Brook” or the new sewer line being put in next to it.

Standing on the south side of Beacon St. looking west. The apartment building at 108-116 Winthrop Rd. is in the upper left corner. In the distance on the right is the six-story apartment building at 1569-1571 Beacon St., still standing. In the foreground is the future location of Brandon Hall at 1501 Beacon St. The pile of debris is unexplained as there was no structure there previously.

Tom Condon, Sr. Civil Engineer for Brookline writes:
The work shown is part of the relocation of the outlet of the Village Brook. …(in the pile of lumber in the background you can see a piece of the curved falsework used to hold the brick arch until the cement mortar set.). Leverett Pond was created from the Muddy River marsh located just south of Washington Street by installing a stop plank manhole (in effect an adjustable height dam) in the new culvert under Washington Street. This stop plank manhole was necessary to hold back the pond since the Charles and therefore the Muddy Rivers were still tidal at that time. Presumably, Alexis French (who was both Olmsted's engineer and the Town Engineer) determined that more flow into this new pond was necessary. To provide this additional flow, the Village Brook which flows alongside what is now the MBTA "D" line was diverted into the culvert shown under construction. The culvert runs east down Washington Street, crosses Walnut Street, runs down Morss Avenue (now discontinued), across Pond Avenue and into Leverett Pond.
