Given the timeframe specified, I'd say that the church referred to is the Cathedral of the Holy Cross ... at 1400 Washington Street (also 75 Union Park St) ... near the intersection of Northampton St/Harrison Ave ... Those streets still exist ... though goodness knows what occupies their place ... the Cathedral, is of course, still there.

He also had a lot on Northampton Steet, "next to the Catholic Church." Does anyone know if the street addresses have changed since then? And also, any idea which church this might've been? Thanks!
