These are a Boston archivist’s 10 favorite old photos of the city
Ever wonder what the commute at Sullivan Square Station looked like in 1901? The Boston City Archives can tell you. If you follow the social media accounts for the department, you may have seen the blue-tinted photo of the station — the blurred image of commuters disembarking and boarding the trains, accompanied by the hashtag #onthisday.
