history & community

Comfort Kitchen now inhabits the former Upham's Corner Comfort Station, which was originally built in 1912 to support the expanding streetcar system in Boston and is listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places and as a Boston Landmark. Read more about the site's history at historicboston.org. Upham’s Corner is at a tipping point of American urban renewal. Change is inevitable, however efforts can be made to engage the community in the change process and bring new things in that respect the existing culture and history.
