Only some of those scenes are Boston. Looks like they grabbed all the old high resolution Detroit Publishing Company photos from the Library of Congress/Shorpy.com and animated them.

Nicely done. If there are any 1906 images there, they're mixed with ones from as late as the '30s, based on the vehicles. And Al Bowly didn't sing that song when he was 8.
