Hotel Bossert was just a short way south of that location. It shows more or less the same view as Lovecraft saw, albeit a little south, not lit up in the evening twilight, and a decade or so later (perhaps a new skyscraper or two). <\/p>\n<p>On the views and relevant addresses see my earlier post on <a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/2022\/07\/08\/picture-postals-from-lovecraft-the-view-from-columbia-heights\/\">the view from Columbia Heights<\/a>.
