old South station

Before the major reconstruction of the 1980s that created the bright atrium of today, the interior of South Station was never especially grand. This was the original ticket office on a quiet day.

Very neat photo - IIRC, there was an interim time period in the '80s (?) where the passenger waiting area / ticket office was moved to a relatively small, not very charming, temporary shelter adjacent to the South Station head house perhaps while the head house renovation was underway?
