Where was this firehouse?

Mystery firehouse

This firehouse was the Headquarters of the Hyde Park Fire Department. The firehouse became part of the Boston Fire Department on the day Hyde Park was annexed to Boston, January 1, 1912. The firehouse was located at 30 Winthrop Street, between Harvard Avenue and Central Avenue, in the Cleary Square section of Hyde Park. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to tighten my chinstrap...

i'd say this was taken late 1960s early 1970s. Based on the two cars including the '307' small block engine emblem in the foreground.
