A Black and White View - Part 2 of 3, Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts, USA



Many folks were out and about on the Commonwealth Mall in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston on a gray winter day before the rain arrived. The French-looking building in the background - it is named the Vendome - was originally built in 1872 as a hotel, now as luxury condos. 



A sculpture on the mall of Phillis Wheatley who was the first African-American author of a published book of poetry (in 1773).



A memorial to the nine fallen fire-fighters of the 1972 fire at the Vendome.



Walking the dog - always popular along the broad walkway.



Around the corner on the parallel Beacon Street.
