history

The first stop at Sullivan Square in 1905

On June 10, 1901, the Sullivan Square station of the Boston Elevated Railway (BERy) opened. It was architecturally sophisticated and was considered the crown jewel of the entire BERy system. However, the maintenance of the building was neglected so that the once magnificent structure had to be demolished due to dilapidation after the closure of Charlestown Elevated and the opening of the new station a few blocks further west as part of the Haymarket North Extension .
