Today’s top image is a photo by Leslie Jones of the “100 Steps,” leading from Hancock Street to Downer Avenue on Jones Hill.
The bottom image is a sketch drawn by Jack Frost, the Boston Herald’s columnist in his Fancy This. This series on April 29, 1936. The hundred steps, rising from Hancock Street up the side of Jones Hill, the longest wooden stairway in Boston.
The building halfway up the hill was the Jacqueminot Bungalow, a function hall from the 19-teens to the 1930s.
Note: I counted the steps in 2015. There are a total of 103.
