Looking east, Reservoir Lane. is unseen around the corner. This photo is likely made of the just-completed widening of Boylston St. and the laying of trolley tracks in late 1900. Note that the supporting poles of the electric feed stop abruptly on the north side where the trolley tracks cease sharing the general roadway. The poles resume on the specially laid-out segregated section of track that goes up the hill.
