Looking south at the rear of 46 Pearl St. from the railroad tracks that are the “D” line of today’s subway. Behind the photographer is the top of Station St. where it meets Kent St. Behind the building across the street in the photo is the Esso station at the northwest corner of Brookline Ave. and Lower Washington St. Brookline Ice and Coal Co. remains in business today two blocks from this site.

Property-appraisal photos taken in 1965 and early 1966 for “The Marsh Urban Renewal Project” run by the Brookline Redevelopment Authority. All the buildings in the defined area save two were razed.
