Large format paperback in new condition - please note that we also ha ve imperfect copies of this book. About Jack Lueders-Booth's The Orange Line is a tenderly produced archive 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.

An unintended consequence was affordable housing for this largely low-income population. Show more
