(ca 1893) - South End Grounds, Boston, MA,

South End Grounds, Boston, MA, ca 1893 - One of the most majestic ballparks that ever stood. There were three versions that were all home to the Boston Braves, the original South End Grounds was built in 1871 and was demolished in 1887 to make way for version two, which is the one in the photo and had a capacity of 6,880. Unfortunately in 1894, it was destroyed in a fire started by children under the right field bleachers and version three was hastily and cheaply built, mostly because the second version wasn't fully insured.

In 1914, the Braves made a miracle run to the World Series, however due to its small capacity their home games were moved into Fenway Park in August for their pennant run, the move was made to accommodate the demand for tickets and the Braves stayed at Fenway Park until Braves Field was built and opened in 1915.

Soon after South End Grounds was demolished and today on its former site sits a Northeastern University parking garage and a train station on the MBTA line.
