Historic Photos of Charlestown

We told you Bev's commute to Somerville would be shortened dramatically! Look at this photo from 1855, titled "View of Charlestown, Mass., as seen from Somerville. " If they can do it by horse, the Jeep should be able to handle it in no time. For a great collection of old photographs, postcards, and maps of Charlestown, check out the link. Who would have known the elevated Orange Line used to crawl down Main Street? Also, look at this postcard from 1900 of St. Francis de Sales Church on the crest of Bunker Hill. Our new place will be on the same side of the street, just one block to the right of this picture.
