L Terminal Site Shows Rapid Destruction and Early Foundations
At the Roxbury L terminal site the area bounded by Washington Warren and Zeigler streets bears the marks of a cyclone as holes are punched into frozen soil and houses demolished. Excavation into bed rock reaches depths of twenty eight feet while cement foundations rise in pyramid form. Ruth and Willie Gaston helped start digging with a tiny spade and pick, cherished by Ruth as her first digging experience. The next task is placing waterman undertaking rooms, and the first mortar will soon be laid with a silver trowel for the three story terminal. officials hope the steel framework arrives by spring and the terminal by August.
