Looking down Cumberland Ave. toward Pond Ave. Designed by Cabot and Chandler and built in 1884 for Charles Storrow and Martha Cabot Storrow. It has been described as "is an intensely developed F.L. Olmsted, Sr. landscape that includes a ravine spanned by a stone bridge and hills banked up against a street-edge retaining wall of rough puddingstone boulders, forming a sort of "ha ha" (a one sided wall not visible from inside the property). "

Washington St. heading toward Rt. 9 and Boston. This is a Type Four car, in use in Boston from 1911-1950. The two brick buildings still stand.

While nominally just a photo of a subway car this photo actually contains a number of interesting details of Village life in the late 1930s. To the right is the front end of what appears to be a 1935 Chevrolet Master Deluxe Coupe. And there are glimpses of the following businesses:

• Earl Colvin, dentist, is the clearest. He was at that location (221 Washington Street) as early as 1922 and as late as 1940. In 1944 he had moved to 1 Harvard Street.
• Moore's, up the street, is Moore's Grille at 6-9 Harvard Square.
• A.J. Grennan, Chiropodist.
• Wolf & Smith, Meats. They are beneath Colvin and the name is only partly visible. They were there as early as the 1920s through at least 1944.
• Elisabeth Cleansing Shop. The name is on the corner above the back of the trolley.
• Daniel Goldberg. His name is on the window next to Grennan, but we don't find him in the city directories.
