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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
