Construction Drives Forward on Back Bay Coliseum Project

At the Coliseum site in Back Bay workers push ahead despite cold winds. The crew frames timber, lays piles, and excavates for bridge abutments while a pile driver starts on arches. Architect Preston and engineer McNutt oversee the ground breaking with multiple derricks already in place. Virginia oyster shells are shipped to fill Huntington avenue works, with workmen housed in new buildings. The scene suggests a marked change by week’s end.
