For more than a century, South Station has stood as an enduring symbol, welcoming millions to Boston each year.
The journey, however, would was not an easy one as the station fell from grandeur, faced demolition in the 1970s, then was revived to stand, once again, as the Gateway to Boston.
South Station was born back in the late l890s when it was no longer efficient for each of the five railway companies that serviced Boston to have their own depot. Passengers found it difficult at best, and a nuisance at the very least, to cart their baggage and belongings between terminals scattered from Back Bay to Summer Street.The turn of the century was coming and Boston needed to have the newest, most efficient and architecturally grand station in the nation.
Recognizing that, the state legislature granted a charter to a new corporation, the Boston Terminal Company, and charged it with “constructing and maintaining a union passenger station in the southerly part of the City of Boston.”
