You get a glimpse of the new station at the far right edge of the photo. At left, a street-car whizzes by. No idea who the man is.

It's this guy...
One happy guy, Engstrum balcony, ca.1920
Guessed at the date, the Briggs will be renamed the Barbara Worth Apartments in about 1926. Little white house below balcony will be gone earlier than that.

BTW, Lakeshore extended from Boylston up past Echo Park (lake) hence the name. It would ultimately become 2nd Street from Boylston to 1st Street and then Glendale Boulevard north of 1st.
