The Evolution of Harvard Square

Harvard Square has been the center for public transportation for more than a century. In the 1980s, however, the area was dug up entirely to complete a link in the modern red line, the newest addition to Boston's T trains. The Kiosk containing Out of town News was put on wheels, then removed from the area entirely during construction. The state rebuilt the face of Wigglesworth which faces Mass. Ave. to protect the frosh from deafening noise. The T stop was opened to the public in 1985.
