Thanks for the info.

In South Shore books, there are a number of pictures of the station building,
but it doesn't look very inviting--covered with security bars and looking like
a police station or jail.  Ugly concrete block.

In some pictures of the waning days of the actual South Shore station, the
neighborhood looks like it had seen better days.  In google streetview today,
the area looks deserted, with some buildings torn down, and others converted
to social service uses.

(Unfortunately, a lot of neighborhoods that were once served by a key
streetcar or interurban terminal do not look very good today as compared to
the 1950s, when they were commercially much more vibrant.  Sad.)
