Thanks for the sharing yourself. The traffic sounds would have included a lot of shouted signals to the horses ("Gee," "Haw," Gyup," "Ho," etc.), and shouted instructions from traffic cops. One of the reasons for the open front seat in town cars was so the driver could hear the signals and know what was going on.

It’s like the past ghosts of Boston. In a way, we are the ghosts and the city just goes through cycles with different generations. I’m from Philly and when looking at the William Penn tower, which is Philly’s landmark, I remember that as a kid growing up. That’s been there since the 1890’s and I’m sure the city hall tower will be there long after I’m gone. My uncle was very nostalgic growing up in Philly, as are many people in Boston. He’s no longer above ground. It seems like we are all just fading memories too. At least, with builders, they have something to take pride in. They helped produce an edifice that will stand the test of time.

Beautiful historic old Boston aka "Beantown", "The Hub" and "College town"! 1903, my beloved grandparents era, the Edwardian era. I was born in Boston in 1948, older siblings were born in Boston, too. Parents got married on Beacon Hill in 1939, all the bridesmaids wore turquoise, my beloved mom's favorite color! Older sister worked for Jordan Marsh in the early 1960s. I recognize those narrow winding streets that still exist today! One could get dizzy driving around 'the Hub" and accidently going up those one way streets the wrong way like my mom did once! lol Thanks for sharing along with all the city noise!

I'm certainly open to corrections or additions! 0:12 Either Boylston or Tremont with brand new subway station entrance on upper left 0:54 There’s been some street repositioning, but basically Boylston intersecting with Washington. Existing Liberty Tree building clearly visible 2:18 Iconic old Jordan Marsh building torn down in 1970’s 3:07 Traveling NE on Washington, Old South Meeting House clock visible 3:26 Dude challenges someone to a fistfight because he was asked to please put a mask on. 3:41 Old South Meeting House, windows and surface seems to be caked in soot? This was the coal era. Was it still closed after its congregation fled to Back Bay? 4:46 Poking along SE on Summer St, South Station visible to right. In ten years it will (briefly) be the busiest train station in the world (38M/annum) followed by Boston’s North Station then Grand Central. 5:18 Taxi stand outside South Station! Did they call them taxis then? 6:10 Sudden appearance of people standing outside of a building wearing masks.

Great piece of work! Could you identify the streets that the trolley follows from beginning to end?

I would love to see the old North end in a video like this. I don't think street cars went through those streets like Salem and Hanover unfortunately.

Does the city still look the same? If not then what a shame! Fantastic footage beautifully restored, thank you for uploading : )

I was a cabbie in Boston for 13 years until 1989. I never saw crowds like this...

До первой мировой два года. До лампочки Ильича с планом ГОЭЛРО пятнадцать. До трёхфазных электросетей тоже далёко. Спасибо за труд!

Great restoration of moving history, think 1903 was the Red Sox innuagaral season. 14 years before JFK was born and 22 years before RFK came along. Never been to Boston, it has a pretty rich history. Im a west coast guy, So CA, Long Beach. Have never traveled much. But, wouldnt mind visiting Boston. And, maybe NYC , Philly. While Im still around, 70 now.

At 3:11 A rare shot of the motorcar nicknamed "The horseless carriage" or "The Devil wagon'. I read Some people back then seeing the auto show of 1901 backed away in fear of it! Mainly the wealthy could afford it back then.
