State & Atlantic
1918.
Agreed
We know it's State/Long Wharf because:
- Sign pointing right to Long Wharf.
- "Old Long Wharf Salt House"
We know it's Atlantic because of the elevated train station.

Date?
How do you know the date by the photo? I must have missed something.
Because Swirly
went to high school with that guy in the picture :)
Nearly spit my root beer
on the computer screen when I read that. Thanks for the mid-day chuckle!
Nope
But, hey, must be getting cold (and crowded) under that bridge - makes a troll grumpy, eh?
That is TOOOO funny!
That is TOOOO funny!
TOTALLY!
Let's go off our medications and party more often!
How quaint
Gay misogyny lives on.
Try paranoia
Gay? Misogyny?
Long Wharf
Stairs on the left for Atlantic Avenue El (State Street station?). Which would put it after 1901 (but not long after based on other evidence).
Wicked Ignorance
Dioxogen ads on the stair treads. It was a brand of hydrogen peroxide.
Here's their magazine ad:
Ah, yes, dioxogen
From the makers of dihydrogen oxide.
Probably 1903...
...just before they began construction on what's now the Blue Line.
Many of the photos in this series are pre-construction views, showing the "before" conditions along new transit lines.
The Answer!
Thanks for playing folks! This is 200 Atlantic Avenue on September 26, 1912
