Looking at the north side of Boylston St. From left to right:

• Rear of house on Kerrigan Place, partial view
• 145 Boylston St., an unidentified grocer. The window decorations are very similar to those of the grocery at 135 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.
• Delivery wagon. The name “Curran” displayed on the side but no identification has been made.
• Entrance to Kerrigan Place
• 135/137 Boylston St., the grocery store of Bridget Glynn. It has already been moved back to accommodate the upcoming widening of Boylston St. Glynn, 50, widowed in 1904, lived with her five children there.
• 133 Boylston St., partial view
