Photograph of Mertie West posing in front of an announcement board outside of the First Methodist Church in Boston. A brick-paved sidewalk stretches across the foreground, on an incline up to the left. At the back edge of the sidewalk, Mertie West stands, left-of-center, in front of the stone facade of First Methodist Church and looks to camera. The building is viewed close-up. Immediately behind Mertie, a wrought iron fence stretches from center to right. Behind it, a small patio leads back to lattice-pane double window inset into the stone building.

Photograph of Mertie West posing while visiting the Granary Burying Ground in Boston. Mertie West stands in the near distance at center. She faces left but turns her head towards camera. The narrow, stone-paved walkway she stands upon enters frame from the lower left corner and extends on an upward angle to the right. On the near side of the walkway, grave markers stand in a row parallel to the walkway. Behind Mertie, the cemetery grounds sprawl into the distance. Grave stones stand in rows that run perpendicular to the walkway. A tomb rises from the ground, behind and to the right of Mertie. Several trees dot the grounds. In the background, a street and buildings are visible lining the cemetery's back edge.

Photograph, from left to right, of Mertie West and a female caretaker at the Bunker Hill Monument conversing inside the monument's lodge. The cracked and tiled floor of the lodge's interior stretches across the bottom edge and back through the image. In the near distance at center, Mertie West and a caretaker chat. Mertie stands in profile at center, facing right. The woman she speaks with stands to the right of Mertie and leans back on a desk to the right her. The interior space is sparse in decor. A few chairs sit against the side walls. Several paintings hang from the walls as well. Pilasters embellish the interior's corners. Bright light filters in from a door and window inset into the back wall. The door stands open behind and to the left of Mertie. The base of the Bunker Hill Monument's obelisk is visible beyond the door. A lattice-pane window to the right of the door allows light to stream into the lodge. Both the door and the window are capped by pediments.

An out-of-focus photograph of Mertie West posing outside the First Church of Christ, Scientist's southern facade in Boston. A brick-paved walkway extends along the bottom edge. Mertie West stands in the near distance at left, along the back edge of the walkway. She stands in profile facing right, but turns her head to the camera. Immediately behind her, a wide, short set of steps, flanked by lampposts on pedestals, descends behind her. From the steps, the walkway stretches back on an angle towards the left side of the church. To the right of the walkway, a small, landscaped lawn sits in front of the church. The First Church of Christ, Scientist stands in the background, off-center to the left. It is viewed at a slight angle from its southern facade. A half-dome, lined with arched windows, extends towards camera. A white haze washes over the majority of the image. Two streaks of bright, white light crisscross at center.
