Porter Square Neighborhood

Formerly known as Union Square, the Porter Square neighborhood is the area at the intersection of Massachusetts and Somerville Avenues between Davis and Harvard Squares. The Porter Square station conveniently serves two lines: the MBTA Red Line and Commuter Rail Fitchburg. Much of the campus of Lesley University sits within Porter Square. In 1899, the neighborhood was named for the Porter Hotel, known for its specialty, the porterhouse steak.

Lesley University's Porter campus is the site of the College of Art and Design, the Graduate School of Education, the Lunder Arts Center, Student and Financial Services, the Moriarty Library, University Hall and most of the school's art galleries and dance studios.

The Porter subway station is noteworthy in that it's the deepest of the entire MBTA system. The station was built in bedrock, which resulted in savings of both time and money while under construction.
