Reference Ron Salterâ€\s comment of 19 Dec. 2008 about Columbus Ave.
The photo of the Plasa taken at Texas St{not shown} looking south along Tremont Street with the street car tracks, was Tremont Street. Columbus Ave. was to the right of the photo with the car heading North into Columbus Ave which equally divided the portion of the street in the photo. {Roxbury, Then and Now Page 90 by Sammarco 2007}. Probably about fifty or so feet from the front of the car was a flat iron type building that divided Columbus Ave and Tremont St. as they both headed North towards downtown at less than a 5 degree angle of separation.
A study of the City directory would clarify the numbering system.
I don’t remember the Criterion Theatre(Roxbury Crossing, MA) having a balcony. A Woolworth 5 & 10 was to the right and a small cigar store was to the left. I am seeking a photo.
