Week of 17 September 1999 Vol. III, No. 6 BU Yesterday There's something missing from this 1964 picture: a chunk of Commonwealth Avenue. We're looking north toward the BU Bridge, with the Sargent Gym building to the right. The trench in the foreground will soon be filled by the Massachusetts Turnpike Extension, while what appears to be the westbound side of Comm. Ave. is actually a temporary bypass road. The photo was taken from the roof of 808 Commonwealth Ave. Boston University Photo Services
