More tales of urban renewal… Boston, MA: Scollay Square, Brattle St., and Cornhall St shown before being demolished around 1962 to build Government Center (last image)
desert_wombat says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scollay_Square You can see that in the second image the far right row of buildings were not torn down but much of everything else was. I did my best to place arrows showing where the first (Blue) and second (Red) photos were taken on these aerials 1955 – 1969 https://imgur.com/a/YfZ2uDb You can see a massive amount of central Boston was demolished and rebuilt in this short time period.
