While doing homework on Victorian Boston...

View of Trinity Church before the addition of the western porch
While doing research for my Victorian Boston paper (for the Boston By Foot Guide In Training program), I went back to the Boston Public Library flickr account. Thus I came across a whole set of old photographs documenting the construction of the McKim building.

Amongst those photos, I came across this gem (the photo above), capturing Trinity Church before the western porch and the west facade towers were added.

On the right in this same photo you can see Sturgis & Brigham's original Museum of Fine Arts building of 1876.
