I believe the address is 132 Marginal Street in East Boston across from Piers Park. The gas street lamp and fire hydrant are still there. https://goo.gl/maps/L9r1qnypxWx

I wonder if it's the same street lamp.

Here is a blog post about the neighborhood of Jefferies Point in East Boston. The second picture in the post is of the same ally way with another gas street lamp.

Nicely done. I love that the little roof door hasn't changed: IMAGE(https://s23.postimg.org/sxkj0qmif/roof.jpg)

Amazing before and after photo, these old East Boston wooden structures are still standing after decades of wind,rain,snow,, sun .

Is a safer version - railings along the roof edge near access opening. Impressive!

Thanks for playing, folks! 132 Marginal Street is correct! The date is April 17, 1909
