Too architecturally distinctive to ignore.

I think this/was some part of the Forest Hills Elevated Station/Casey Overpass, a turn of the 20th century construction in Boston. If overpass us still there, its well over 100 years old.

i could not pin down exactly where the Calso station was at this location. I would guess on the right side of this illustration, way down in the distance.

I tried to figure out the location too.

The picture had "1946-1958" caption, but no explanation of what relation that time span had with the picture. Looks like ~'47 Ford out front.

A WAG for those dates is the life span of that station. So it may have been gone in 1958.
 
You might have been looking right at it.
