St. Patrick’s Basilica – from the author’s window

An unfortunate corner. The tall building at right replaced the Art Deco Architect’s Building in the mid to late 1970s, while the tall white building at left was built after the mid-1950s enlargement of the former Dorchester Boulevard. Before this, what has since become known as Brother André Square would have been a much larger park with stately Edwardian row-houses running its length.
