There are views of the intersection of Broadway and Dorchester Avenue, showing the original trolley tracks and the silhouette of Saints Peter and Paul. Another photo looks down L Street from Broadway towards the power plant. Perhaps the most beautiful photograph of all is a panoramic shot of what is now Day Boulevard and Marine Park. Note the white summer dresses on the ladies and the old aquarium in the background. For an outstanding action shot, take a look at the fire pumper, drawn by a troika of white Appaloosa geldings responding to a call.
Great photography knows no decade.
The pictures are the exclusive property of the current owner of Amrheins, Steve Mulrey, who also owns Mul's Diner across Broadway. The pressed metal ceiling merits a glance. It must be the most extensive and well preserved in Boston, or perhaps anywhere. Notice the small white hex tiles in the bar area, the frosted shades on the lamps, and, yes, the real lace curtains in the windows. There are two antique floral wallpapers as well, one of which has a very unusual deep green pattern.
