Looking more closely at the sign (and knowing the geography of the Boston area), the description would be more accurate if it said "traveled to Malden via Broadway and Ferry Streets". This map of the Elevated system (found on Wikipedia) might be of interesting as it shows the line heading north from Charlestown up through Everett (on Broadway) and then on to Ferry St to Malden. -- Seen in a discussion of the group "Flickr Commons" (?)

This is classic. But yes, it's TO the northern suburb of Malden by way of Broadway and Ferry Streets.

It's interesting to see how much the mail system has changed, but also how much it has stayed the same. Mail isn't typically sent via a train like this, but it still is transported across the states by large vehicles or planes. It just depends on if you are sending bulk mail or not; different services treat it differently. www.omsmail.com

The time on the Tribune clock is 12:50 pm. Here is wikipedia's description of the building, including the fact that it was completed in 1915 - can't see any construction going on here, though. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Municipal_Building
Arden said:
klynslis and Noel Zia Lee: Thanks for the date and other information on the Municipal building in NYC. We can update the source data and reload the description. According to the Wikipedia article, the building was first occupied in 1913 which might explain its appearance in this photo, even if it wasn't completely finished until later.
