Boston Elevated Railway Bus, Circa 1927
The Boston Elevated Railway opened a “de luxe” bus line between Brookline and Boston in 1927. It initially started in Coolidge Corner, that was later extended to Washington Square. The license plate of this bus, stopped in Cleveland Circle, is dated 1927 but it is not clear which route is involved. Beacon St. inbound is off screen to the right. Boston’s Sutherland Rd. descends in the middle of the photo.

1378-1392 Beacon St., 1911
On the northeast corner of Beacon and Winchester Streets, these buildings were each constructed as an eight-family apartment house, all still standing. Each one was imprinted with a name. From right to left: the Windsor, Wrexham, Tamworth, and Wedgemoir at #1378-1392 Beacon Street and the Richelieu and Winchester at #1-5 Winchester Street. They were all designed by W. H. Andrews in 1902-03 and were built by Peleg Briggs Wadsworth, a real estate developer. Andrews designed these brick and limestone buildings using a number of architectural elements found in the designs of other Beacon Street buildings dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: rounded bay windows alternating with flat facades; projecting cornices with brackets and dentils; and center entrances.
