For the Orange Line station formerly called Boylston, see Chinatown.

Boylston Station, northbound Green Line platform, September 2005. Besides being one of the oldest subway stations, it was also one of the most dimly lit. In 2006 the station was refurbished with brighter lighting and painting.

Bolyston Station is a MBTA station on the Green Line, located on the southeast end of the Boston Common at the intersection of Bolyston and Tremont Streets.

This station was originally constructed in 1897, making it one of the two oldest subway stations in the United States, along with Park Street. Of the two, it is the less changed from its original appearance. Historic Boston trolleys are also kept on display in the station.

H. P. Lovecraft's story, "Pickman's Model," mentions a fictional painting in which monsters "were clambering up from some unknown catacomb through a crack in the floor of the Boylston Street subway and attacking a crowd of people on the platform."

During the summer of 2006, the MBTA began installing brighter lighting at Bolyston Station, taking away from the old dim look.
