Looking at the north side of Boylston St. during the widening of Boylston St. To the right is Kerrigan Place and the houses visible in the rear are on its west side. On the left is 145 Boylston St. 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.
