These photographs are of a community that lived and worked along the southern route of Boston Public Transportation's Orange Line, an antiquated, clattering, overhead railway that was constructed in 1901. The pavement vibrating din of this deteriorating railway, its unsightliness, its increasing crime rate, and its inefficiency depressed property values in the neighbourhoods that it served. An unintended consequence was affordable housing for this largely low-income population. In 1985, the southern section of the Orange Line was scheduled for demolition and rerouting, which seeded fears of rising rents, possible displacement, and the loss of public transportation to metropolitan Boston. Change seemed imminent, and displacement probable. These 8x10" camera photographs were made in the interest of preserving some record of the people who lived and worked along the southern stretch of Boston's Orange Line.
