Stevens, Edward F. (Edward Fletcher), 1860-1946 · April 20, 1889

Oblique view toward Boylston Street showing progress of foundation work at back of site. The steel structural work visible to the left in the stack area was later removed when McKim decided to use Guastavino tile arches in that area. Courtyard clearly delineated in center of image and layout of the basement level becoming apparent. Photo No. 59 by Edward Stevens, Clerk of Works.
