Dorchester Illustration no. 2276 Trolley Car Yard at Park Street
Paul Cifrino purchased the land on Park Street at Fields Corner adjacent to the T station to develop a retail shopping plaza in 1962. Before the shopping plaza, the site served as a trolley car yard and barns.
Today’s illustration shows trolley snow plow #2015 at Park Street plus a view of the yard from the 1930s or 40s. In the lower photo, Park Street is on the left, and the photographer seems to have been standing on top of a building on the east side of Dorchester Avenue looking west.
