On the left is a partial view of the Gulf station at the corner of Brookline Ave. and Lower Washington St. In the middle is 85 River Rd., an apartment building that fronted on 682/684 Brookline Ave. On the right is the rear of 676 Brookline Ave., a building still standing in 2025, one of the very few not removed during the urban renewal project of the 1970s.
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.
