I looked into this a bit more. I don't think either building is still standing. The first building at 107 Washington St would very likely have been located in Scollay Square, now long gone. The next location at 364 Washington St would have been located in what is now Downtown Crossing. That area has seen a tremendous amount to redevelopment over the last 20 or so years. There is a large open area where I believe that building once stood.
If you look at Washington St on a map you can see where it ends abruptly at Court St. That is the Government Center area now, which was once Scollay Square. Government Center is directly across from the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, which makes sense for a storefront, especially at that time. If you draw a straight line from Washington St at Court St directly north you will come to N. Washington St which would have been a continuation of the same road prior to being redeveloped.
Just to give an idea of how ridiculous navigating Boston can be, after a quick glance at the map, I can see Washington St addresses, all of which are within the city of Boston, with different origins and destinations. From Roxbury to downtown, then N. Washington through the North End. From Dedham to Dorchester. From Newton to Brighton. And small stretches in Hyde Park, Roslindale, Charlestown, Jamaica Plain, and Dorchester again!!!
