It was built between 1952 and 1954 as part of the Blue Line extension to Wonderland,[1] on the site of a former Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad station. True to its name, Revere Beach station is only a block from Revere Beach, a popular summer escape spot for Bostonians. Revere Beach Station is on the part of the Blue Line that uses overhead lines instead of third rail.
The station was rebuilt in 1994-95 when the other stations from Wonderland to Suffolk Downs underwent complete renovations. It was closed for approximately one year starting on June 25, 1994 for rebuilding. The Blue Line temporarily ended at Orient Heights and buses served the closed stations during the $467 million improvement project to upgrade four stations on the line. The station officially re-opened on June 24, 1995.[1]
