Atlantic ave,?
I Googled the name and that's what came up.

I google and got an eBay receipt stating Haverhill St by North Station
I’m guessing the photo was
I’m guessing the photo was taken before this row of buildings was demolished to make way for the trolly portal ramp that led to the North Station elevated line and viaduct to Lechmere.
Chicken Cock Whiskey became
Chicken Cock Whiskey became so popular that in 1889 White noticed signs of an imitation brand. Miller’s Game Cock Bourbon, out of Boston, Massachusetts, copied everything from the name to the label design of J.A. Miller Chicken Cock.

The 1922 Boston Directory
places Pynn & Cameron, showcase mfrs, at 97 Haverhill St.
I suppose “mfrs” means “manufacturers,” and not my favorite expletive.
Probably earlier and elsewhere
The Bromley atlases show that Haverhill Street was all 5- and 6-story brick and stone buildings by 1918. Here we see 3-story wooden buildings. I'm guessing that this photo shows a previous location for this business, before they had to relocate.
Many of these Archives photo quizzes feature "before" photos taken prior to construction of transit lines, either elevated or subway. This picture may have been taken before these buildings were demolished to make way for a transit line. Or maybe the transit line just passed by without disturbing the buildings, but they were removed later for another reason.
i am sick of these

The Answer
Thanks for playing, folks!
Haverhill Street is correct. This shows 89-95 Haverhill Street and was taken in about 1895. You can see a high res copy of the photo here: https://cityofboston.access.preservica.com/uncategorized/IO_ccf0b9b6-d05...
