Aspinwall Brook and Sewer Project, 1878
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.
