This photo shows Brookline Boulevard back in early 1910. To the left is one of the old fashioned trolley cars that headed towards Overbrook and also we can see the entrance to Creedmoor Avenue. On the hill to the left of center is Resurrection Church as the original Church/School building was under construction. The office at the corner of Queensboro Avenue and Brookline Boulevard is the real estate office for the Freehold Development Company. Straight ahead is Chelton Avenue.

The boulevard had recently been paved in brick and new sidewalks were laid. Note the absence of buildings on the right side of the boulevard. Also take note of the many open lots on Chelton, Queensboro and Berkshire Avenue. This is a wonderful view of this section of the boulevard right at the beginning of Brookline's population boom. Soon these open lots would be full of new homes and businesses.
