Ginter's was a restaurant back then. Stanford has evidently gotten a job at the restaurant. He doesn't say what kind of work he was doing, though.

Left is a picture of the restaurant taken from a 1920 negative.


Tremont Temple is a Baptist Church. Below is a photo of its interior and some information about it, taken from the church's website, Tremont Temple:

A Vibrant Church In Boston

Tremont Temple Baptist Church has a rich history that has made it a leader in the Boston area for social justice, evangelism, and human rights. In the 1830s the struggle for social justice was seen in the fight for the abolition of slavery. The churches were at times defenders of the status quo and even charged for seating. In 1838 a group of men led by Timothy Gilbert started the Baptist Free Church. It was “free” in that there was no rent charged for pews, but more than that it was for the freedom of all people, being the first integrated church in America.
