The Boston skyline has changed dramatically over the last 10-15 years, but a glimpse of the city mid-century makes the transformation all the more stunning.

Flames raced through many old wooden structures but left untouched the brick and marble warehouse (right center) the only commercial structure designed by Charles Bulfinch, chief architect of Boston’s early days.
