Here is a description of the image:

The image is a black and white photograph or possibly a scan of a negative, depicting a street scene with several buildings. The photo is labeled "Bldgs. #415-*395 Boylston St." and "Oct. 30, 1912." It appears to be an old photograph given its style and the presence of handwriting on the bottom.

In the center, there is a taller building that features a storefront with the name "Rosen Bros" visible. This building has prominent bay windows on its upper floors and decorative elements along the roofline. To the left, there is another building, which looks like a row of townhouses or apartment buildings with arched entrances on the ground level and numerous windows. To the right of the central building, there is another building, with arched entrances.

In front of the buildings, two people can be seen walking on the sidewalk.
The text "415 CELESTE 415" is visible above an entrance to one of the buildings. "PIANOS PLANO PLAYERS PIANOS" is written above a storefront. The lettering "TOILET" is also seen in one window. The overall impression is of a bustling urban street in the early 20th century.
