Originally these buildings faced out on what later was called Boston Alley and was next to the Boston Store in the 700 block on the south side of Garrison Avenue. The alley was the only way to cut across to Rogers Avenue for a long distance on that part of Garrison. After this picture was made, a building was built across to the east creating Boston Alley. Somewhere at the start of the Depression, a project enclosed this alley and after World War II it was the Boston Store Book Store. It was while digging throurh this part of the building that remains of the D.J. Young stables were found.
