This rare 16 mm. film of Boston's WHDH-TV (the original WHDH, not the current bogus one on Channel 7) shows Channel 5 moving from their former St. James Street facility to a new broadcast center at 50 Morrissey Boulevard.Channel 5 signed on the air on November 26, 1957. I'd be interested to learn the date when WHDH made its move. Late 1950s?I recognize two people in this footage: sports director Don Gillis (holding the attache case) and chief engineer George St. Andre (alone in a control room).The story of how WHDH-TV lost its license in 1972 is well described in the book, "The Hundred Million Dollar Lunch."

The Boston Herald Traveler Annual Report says the move from 6 St James Ave to 50 Morrisey Blvd took place in January 1960. Also the radio news anchor at 1:36 I think is John Day.

I seem to have read somewhere that WHDH-AM/FM/TV moved to the new complex around 1962.

I saw an early 60s Plymouth Valiant in a parking lot.
