Looking northeast from the Brookline Village “T” stop:

• On the left at 42 pearl St. is the massive former Brookline Coal building. It previously had a separate side track and covered loading area.
• In a row from the center of the parking lot to the visible light-colored side of the Brookline Coal building were five dwellings (26 – 38 Pearl St.) that were razed in recent years
• Pearl St. continues past the large tree in the center of the photo. Visible is the distance are dwellings on Emerald St. at Brookline Ave.
• To the right of the large tree in the center of the photo is a side view of the brick building at 43 Pearl St.
