No building has done more for the city than Rowes Wharf.
Here's another photo of the Union Freight Railroad that ran between North and South Stations until the 1960s. This photo is around 1965, judging from the type of MBTA bus and the "T" symbol. It was a versatile freight line, as its trackage connected directly to the rail lines at both North and South stations.
Late reply, but Cambridge would have played the role Houston does (Mission Control) , not the role Cape Canaveral does.It never ceases to amaze me that Cambridge would have been NASA HQ if Kennedy hadn't been killed. As I understand it though, MA is a bit too north for ideal shuttle landing, especially for orbits started above Florida. So I guess we would never have seen Atlantis touching down at Hanscom or Otis.
