Can someone please tell me what that brick building is, in the picture above? I’ve walked past it thousands of times and have no clue what its function is. Thanks
I don’t know all the history, but it is a State building previously used by the Mass. Transportation Authority (MTA) which is what the two circular placards say. Now, that is MassDOT (Mass. Department of Transportation). My guess is it had something to do with the tunnel or central artery. I’m not sure if there is access though. Maybe others will know.
