@safetychoice The original Scollay Square mosaic signage and tiling was occasionally visible in Government Center Station, behind a wall, for many years. I'm not sure if it's still there.
@safetychoice Thanks for mentioning it, because it's important for people to know more about what existed in this spot before conscientious neglect by the city and its ruling class led it to degenerate into the mob-dominated red light district to which you refer. It was a period of massive Big OIl/Big Auto-engineered, mob-facilitated societal engineering, meant to destroy ethnic enclaves and disconnect the electric public transport infrastructure linking neighborhood to neighborhood.
@safetychoice Scollay Square and the West End were razed largely because the striving immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, who comprised the majority of their inhabitants, were viewed as subversives by the Brahmin 'patriot' class. I-93 and Government Center were built largely to erase all traces of this richly historic part of Boston and its people. Notables included Sarah Parker Remond, the Rosa Parks of the 19th Century, who refused to sit in the 'colored' section of the Old Howard.
