Looking West on Washington St. toward the link with Boylston St. Walnut St. is off photo left foreground. This is one of two photos taken from slightly different positions. From left to right:

• The left side of the apartment building at the entrance to Walnut St. is a rooming house.
• The right side of the apartment building will be converted in early 1900 to a store front.
• #164 Washington St., corner of the Guild Building: Thomas H. McMahon, Grocer
• Washington St. curving north
• #129 Washington St., the four-story brick building: Jacob Morlock, Bakery/Restaurant
• #121 Washington St.: William F. Young, Grocer. Note the cat out front by the curb.
• #115/117 Washington St.: M. Cavicchi, Fruits, Nuts, Figs. Note what appear to be small Christmas trees stacked outside.
