| Description |
English: A double-printed photograph circulated in Boston in 1894. It shows an imagined view of Tremont Street (with Granary Burying Ground at right and Park Street Church at rear) with a then-proposed elevated railroad line, as had recently been constructed in New York City. The uproar after this photograph was published was sufficient to sink the elevated proposal and lead to the decision to build the Tremont Street Subway. |
