Here is a description of the image:

This is a black and white vintage photograph dated November 18, 1910, depicting the buildings on the east side of Dorchester Avenue and the north side of Dorchester Street in Andrew Square.

In the foreground, we see the intersection of the two streets with tram lines running through them. A streetcar is stopped on Dorchester Street. The streets appear wet and reflective.

On the left of the image, utility poles laden with wires rise tall. The wires stretch across the sky, crisscrossing each other. Buildings line the streets, with a distinctive corner building occupying a prominent position at the intersection. This building has a curved facade and multiple stories with numerous windows.

The overall scene evokes a sense of a bygone era, capturing the urban landscape and infrastructure of the early 20th century. The image is labeled "#142" and includes the location and date.

Here's a description of the image:

This is a vintage black and white photograph taken on November 18, 1910, showing a street scene in Andrew Square, likely in Boston, Massachusetts, given the street names. The photograph appears to be a negative image, giving it the inverted color effect.

Key Features:

  • Street Intersection: The main focus is the intersection of Dorchester Avenue and Dorchester Street.
  • Buildings: Several multi-story buildings line the streets. One prominent building on the corner is a rounded, multi-level structure with many windows. Other buildings show architectural details.
  • Streetcars: A streetcar is visible on Dorchester Street.
  • Utilities: Numerous overhead electrical wires crisscross the sky, indicating the presence of street lighting and power lines. Utility poles stand along the streets.
  • Street Conditions: The pavement of the streets is wet and appears to be a mixture of cobblestones and other material.
  • People/Activity: A few figures, possibly pedestrians, are visible.
  • Date and Location: The image is labeled "Nov. 18, 1910," and "Andrew Sq." along with street names, providing historical context.

The photograph captures a snapshot of urban life in the early 20th century, highlighting the architecture, transportation, and infrastructure of the time. The negative effect adds an artistic quality to the image, enhancing the contrast and detail of the scene.
