Looking from Aspinwall Hill at the southwest corner of Corey Hill. Behind the trees on the left is Washington Sq., still undeveloped. In the foreground on the far right, on Washington St., is the gasometer. At the top of the hill is the house of Peder Olsen, at 141 Summit Ave.

The widening of Beacon St. has just been completed. Eben Jordan, of the Jordan Marsh department store owns most of the land pictured and is beginning development. He will soon erect a large mansion here.
