Subway construction on Tremont St., Boston, Mass., looking north from footbridge, section C, facing Park St. Church
Description:
This view of the construction site of the subway tunnel between Tremont Street and the Park Street Mall of Boston Common appears to have been taken from the footbridge that spans the tunnel opening. This is the initial section of the first subway system in the United States, which opened on September 1,1897. Trolley cars can be glimpsed passing by on Tremont Street. Park Street Church stands behind the site at the intersection of Park Street and Tremont Street. Commercial buildings line Tremont Street across from the construction site.
