In Cambridge, along Massachusetts Avenue, is this storefront at 1304 Massachusetts Avenue.
The storefront is on the south side of Massachusetts Avenue, across the street from Harvard University. It is near a J.P. Licks Ice Cream shop.
The store front is a wood frame with glass around a recessed front door. The address is shown above - 1304. What is different about this vs. other store fronts is that the wood framing is not straight, but includes curves. I found this store front while looking up examples for the Art Nouveau movement, which existed in the late 1800s to about World War I (1917). This was one of the few examples that still exists in the Boston area.
