So there’s some teaching tradition hovering there.<BR/><BR/>I can’t explain the caption about the corner of Prince and North Bennet, except to say that the B.P.L.’s catalogue captions do contain errors.J.

North Bennet Street and Prince Street are parallel, not cornerwise, so I can't make out where the building would have been. To add to my confusion, I studied for a year in the Tileston Building at the North Bennet Street School, which is on Tileston Street, but is not the pictured building at all. And here I had thought that I was in an historic place, hallowed by three centuries of teaching tradition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
