65 Kent St., Rear, January 1966
This substantial brick building was torn down in 1974 as the “Marsh Urban Renewal Project” was entering its core phase. Its removal accommodated the addition of a few additional feet for the covered parking platform straddling the tracks that remains today.
In the distance o the right is 74 Kent St. The large smoke stack of Brannen’s Laundry had been there for 75 years and was even considered to be an historic landmark of sorts when it had to be torn down in 1980.
From a notebook of property-appraisal photos taken in 1965 and early 1966 for “The Marsh Urban Renewal Project” run by the Brookline Redevelopment Authority. Only a few scattered peripheral structures remain today.
