Above Image Taken From A Vintage Postcard
The above image (unknown photographer/
historian) looks southward down Walnut Street towards the then Newton High School (what is now known as Newton North High School, very different structures than existed at the time this photo was taken). The photo was taken from just south of Bowers Street (Bowers Street was where the train station and Newtonville Electrical Company were originally located), and Newtonville Avenue (where Newtonville Electrical Company built and moved to its new location at 439 Newtonville Avenue in Newtonville Square).
n.b. Newtonville Electrical Company was the shop that Marash Girl's father and uncle established early in the 20th Century.
When you turn left onto Newtonville Avenue, the entrance to the Masonic Temple is immediately on your right! All former Rainbow Girls know that!
ReplyDeleteOur neighbor Ellen Klein's father was the owner of THE TOY CHEST on Walnut Street in Newtonville Square (on the right side of the photo at the edge closest to the screen).
