On the left is a partial view of a newer brick building at 50 Pearl St. In the middle rear is 68 Pearl St. located on the former northern extension of Pearl St. In the middle foreground are vacant lots where several apartment buildings recently stood. 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.
