Boston Skyline, September 21, 1942

The above is an early color photo of Boston taken from across the Charles River in Cambridge. It is part of the Charles W. Cushman Photograph Collection hosted at the University of Indiana.

Same Location, August 30, 2008

The above is the same location taken just last week. Things have changed quite a bit in the last 60 years. In the top photo, the tallest building on the left is the Suffolk County Courthouse; next to it is the Custom House Tower.
