Back Bay VII

The Mill Dam project in the Back Bay did not turn out to be a huge success.
The tide mills could not generate enough power for the mills, partly because
the railroad embankments had slowed the flow of water through the two
basins.  The Receiving Basin had also turned into a cesspool of stagnant
water and sewage.  The Back Bay needed a new look.
