Union Stations in Washington Square. 
CityLab has recently acquired a good number of research materials from a bulk purchase at an antiquarian book sale. 

Among the new volumes are additional City Directories and House Directories, some institutional histories, and three years of the monthly Worcester Magazine (1912-1914). Of particular interest in the Worcester Magazines are the descriptive articles and images including the one on the right. 

Below you can find a detailed list of the new materials.  You can also go to the developing CityLab webpage to explore an in-progress listing of the CityLab Collection.
