History
The station opened on March 23, 1912 and was rebuilt in the 1980s. The Harvard Bus Tunnel also opened in 1912, originally serving streetcars but now buses and trackless trolleys. An above-ground kiosk was added in 1928, and is now listed separately on the National Register of Historic Places. The station's northbound (outbound) platform is above the station's southbound (inbound) platform, making it one of four stations in the MBTA system to have bi-level platforms.
