Text Appearing Before Image:
cluded the belfry. Theentire height was one hundred and ninety feet, including the spire. The architect was Charles Buliinch who planned many buildingsin Boston, and was also employed by President Monroe in super-intending the erection of the public buildings at Washington. In18G8 it was demolished, and the temples of traffic have arisen inits stead. Fifty years gone by, Summer street was, beyond doubt, themost beautiful avenue in Boston. Magnificent trees then skirtedits entire length, overarching the driveway with interlacingbranches, so that you walked or rode as within a grove, in a lightsoftened by the leafy screen, and over the shadows of the big elmslying across the pavement. The palaces of trade now rear theirsplendid fronts where stood the gardens or mansions of the oldmerchants or statesmen of Boston. Our engraving was reproducedfrom the American Magazine, July, 1835, by the Photo-Electro-type Process, and is considered a very fine view of the structurebefore its demolition.
Text Appearing After Image:
NEW SOUTH CHURCH.
