Since Allston was never a separate town, but was part of the Town of 
Brighton, I think it is perfectly correct to call any part of Allston 
"Brighton."

Allston is simply eastern Brighton, which acquired its name in 1868, 
when a railroad depot and post office were named after the painter 
Washington Allston.  See
