American photographer Nick DeWolf took these amazing photos which offers a nostalgic journey back to the winter of 1960, capturing the grit and grandeur of Boston’s streets under a heavy blanket of snow.
From the elegant, slush-covered brownstones of the Back Bay to the bustling, frost-nipped corners of Downtown Crossing, these images preserve a frozen moment in New England history. You’ll see vintage sedans navigating icy thoroughfares, residents bundled in classic mid-century wool coats, and the quiet, ethereal beauty of the Public Garden in white.
Whether it’s the glow of streetlights reflecting off frozen puddles or the towering snowbanks lining the curbs, these photographs serve as a poignant time capsule of a city defined by its resilience and timeless winter charm.
