Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1689
Today we have a personal favorite postcard: Postcard. Caption on front: Walter Baker’s Mill. Milton, Dorchester, Mass. 1493 Postally unused. On verso: Pub. by M. Abrams, Roxbury, Mass.
Baker’s Chocolate is, of course, the most famous manufacturer in Dorchester’s history. We are looking directly at the Pierce Mill. The Adams mill is behind turning the corner on Adams Street. The three-story structure on the Dorchester side of the river is the Preston Mill, and the mill partly cut off on the right on the Milton side of the river is the Ware Mill.
