Nice Job.. lots of great pix... and obviously I havent looked at them all during my first visit... but one bit of info I can add.. under the 'boston edison' set of pix, you have a 'house' labeled 'A wide open house on Boston and Woodward'... this is actually a former fire station (ladder 15) that was closed in the summer of 1940, and then was added onto several times (was stores at one time and also a convalescent home)
