 In October 1932, Kenmore station was built, and the modern Blandford Street Portal was built just east of Blandford Street.The name "Blandford Street" for the station is an anachronism, as Blandford Street no longer exists as such.The street, along with Cummington and Hinsdale streets, was bought by Boston University in June 2012 for use as a pedestrian mall.
