Government Center: Bowdoin Square Station - Matthew Perconti
This historical picture of the Bowdoin Square T station was taken in 1970, give or take two years. Even though much of the surrounding area to this station have changed, the eye catching architecture of the station entrance have not changed.
This is the old buildings of #99-107 Court St, taken in 1912, now destroyed as a part of the redevelopment of Government Center. It is now Cambridge St, in 2019. In these sliders the Government Center hasn't really changed a lot. The Government Center is always debated on whether or not it is a ugly building. The buildings surrounding it has a very different architectural design. The one area is the Government Plaza where it changed. There is an area where people can sit and hang out.
Connor Gallant: The government center garage has changed throughout the years. The building with the rafters in the back is now completely blocked by a new building. The spot where the picture was actually taken was in the middle of the block of 1 Canal St., but there are currently apartments in the original spot. The second building now has LED lights up on the top to light up the surrounding area. The street has also changed greatly with the amount of sidewalk added and lights that took away the parking lot.
