THE BOSTON TERMINAL
A VAST RAILWAY STATION WITH ALL
THE LATEST IMPROVEMENTS

When Josiah Quincy shortly before his in
stallation as Mayor Of Boston in January 1896
at meeting with Charles p. Clark proposed
that great passenger station be erected on
the south side Of Boston, he was undoubtedly
convinced that such a structure was necessary
and that it would be a great .ence to
the travelling community; but he probably had
no idea that the proposed station would be COM
pleted and dedicated in three years and that
IL would be the largest station in the world
and one Of the features Of the city
The railroads which were Interested in the
construction Of the station were the Boston and
Albany. Boston ana Providence. New England
and New-York. New-fIaven and Hartford and
each Of these corporations subscribed 100000
toward the capital stock Of the Boston Ter
minal Company, which was Incorporated in
June. 1896. for the purpose Of constructing an
adequate passenger terminal for the use IF all
the roads entering Boston on the south side"
In order to carry out the plans mortgage
bonds aggregatng $1l,OOOo0O were issued with
the approval Of the Railroad Commissioners.
The dedication and public inspection took place
on January /. 1899 the Kneeland st. station
abandoned by the New-York. New-Haven
and Hartford Railroad. and the Plymouth and
Midland divisions made the station their
terminus.

the historian Of the work. Boston may be said
to have thrown off the last remnant of pro-
vinciasm and to have assumed her proper place
among the commercial centres Of the world,

munity impress itself more strongly on strangers
