The winter of 1960 brought an unforgettable snowy chapter to Boston. The city, known for its history and architecture, transformed into a winter wonderland. In this photo gallery, we can take a look at some vintage images that remind us of times shoveling snow, enjoying winter strolls, and the unique beauty of Boston in white.
#1: Anderson Street in White Silence
Anderson Street in Beacon Hill looks like it’s covered in snow here, making the scene feel almost like a dream. A woman stands against the wind with an umbrella in one hand. The accumulating snow makes the road almost unrecognizable. For people who know the area, it reminds us of the historic neighborhood dealing with the winter.
