Commonwealth Avenue looking east from Dartmouth Street. Back Bay streets resemble great outdoor corridors connecting open areas at each end of the district. More or less uniform house fronts form the corridor walls, and the sense of direction is impelling. This picture was taken from the Vendome Hotel in the summer of 1879 or 1880. The house under construction at number 107, built for J. M. Forbes, was not begun until May 7, 1879; permission for construction of the dwelling on the empty lot at 119 was granted October 29, 1879, but building operations might not have begun immediately.
