Dover was a former station on the Washington Street Elevated, part of the MBTA's Orange Line. It opened on June 10, 1901, and was closed on April 30, 1987, when the line was rerouted to the west along the Southwest Corridor.[1]
Dover was originally built with a short center island platform, similar to Northampton to the south. Like most of the other Elevated stations, both were designed in a Beaux Arts style by Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow, Jr..[2] Mere months after opening, both stations had their platforms extended for four-car trains. Eleven years later, Dover was rebuilt with two side platforms in a more utilitarian style, with the new station opening on December 9, 1912.[2][3]
East Berkeley Street station on the MBTA Silver Line is located under the former Elevated station location.
