Image of painting by H.C. Pratt courtesy of Anne Brewer. This view of Jamaica Plain shows May Street in the foreground and Jamaica Pond on the left. Charles River can be seen beyond the pond and Parker Hill to the right of the river. Pond Street is shown running from the lower left-hand side of the view. The smoke stack in the center of the picture is likely the chemical factory near Heath and Highland Streets. The Captain Brewer House is shown prominently in the center of the view. The date of the painting is unknown, possibly circa 1840. Thanks to Mark Bulger for the research and captioning. More information about H.C.
