Looking toward Lower Washington St. with the rear of the White Castle restaurant visible in the distance. On the right are 10 and 14 Pearl St. William Francis Conant, the long-time owner of The Brookline Print, had recently been living upstairs in this building with his third wife, Adelaide Huestis Conant, when he died in 1959. This photo was taken prior to the leveling of the entire area then known as “The Marsh”.

From a notebook of property-appraisal photos taken in 1965 and early 1966 for “The Marsh Urban Renewal Project” run by the Brookline Redevelopment Authority. Only a few scattered peripheral structures remain today.
