#onthisday in 1949, a @BostonBTD photographer walked through Boston documenting Boston's streets and intersections for a city study. Let's walk along! cityofboston.access.preservica.com/uncategorized/…

At 1:43 pm, our photographer snapped a photo of Broad Street facing Atlantic, capturing this pedestrian among the delivery trucks. cityofboston.access.preservica.com/uncategorized/…

At 1:50 pm, we're at Broad and State. cityofboston.access.preservica.com/uncategorized/…

15 minute later, our photographer captures a line of parked cars and a delivery truck at Kingston and Essex. cityofboston.access.preservica.com/uncategorized/…

At Kingston and Bedford at 2:10 pm, we see signs for all sorts of businesses. Take a look! cityofboston.access.preservica.com/uncategorized/…

Just a few minute later, our photographer snaps another photo of the same intersection, this time capturing several pedestrians. cityofboston.access.preservica.com/uncategorized/…
