...public hall larger than the Mechanics' Building in Boston is to be built in Cambridge on the Cambridge bank of the Charles River Basin, almost midway between Harvard Bridge and the new Boston Bridge. Although the building is being constructed chiefly for purposes of exhibition, it is expected that large indoor athletic contests, and perhaps national conventions will be given the use of the hall. It will be especially suitable for automobile and motor boat shows, since trials of the motor boats can be viewed at the same time that the automobiles are being exhibited in the hall...

Auburn street seem the most likely selections
