Description
Colorized photo from 1904
Original title: Dudley Street Station, Boston "L" Ry.
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: 130 Dudley St, Boston, MA
This is the Nubian Station, otherwise known as Dudley street station. Built in 1901, it was the original Orange Line. The building more or less still exists today, and its the only thing that exists, as it is they cut the lower floor off and kept the top.
There were many postcards of this scene from different years and views. So I got a pretty good idea what the colors should be. The train was a brown red, or in that family. The street cars were red and yellow or green and yellow, some were even blue. But I went with red, because it looks nicer.
The roof of the building would still be on the brown side, being a few years old it would have some green hues on it. Some postcards though showed an entirely green roof others were copper. I was able to find a few of the ad's. I was hoping to find the "woman's friend" rye flakes, but couldn't find a solid lead as to how they might have painted it.
