The title on this glass negative, O'Neill, Boston, is recorded as unverified, so the name could refer to a place, a business, or a person. The National Photo Company, which documented American cities in the early twentieth century and sold its views to publishers and the public, made the plate in 1924. Viewers will notice streaks and spots across the glass, which come from the natural deterioration of the original coatings rather than from the scene itself.
