Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1804
The Wiswall-Blackman house stands at 29 Adams Street. Owners at different times were William Wiswall, Lemuel S. Balckman, William D. Swan, Samuel Swan, and Robert T. Swan. The Boston Landmarks Commission estimates the date of construction as about 1820 and says the house appears on the 1831 map. Their survey form describes the house as a 5 bay hip-roofed Federal house with brick ends. The porch and siding have been replaced.
