Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1555
This John A. Cushman Kodak Shop advertisement appeared in the Blue Book of Dorchester for 1910. The ad says the shop was located at 363 Washington Street just above the intersection of Harvard and Bowdoin Street – by above they apparently meant higher in number and therefore south of the intersection about three-quarters of a block. 363 was located about where 357 is today, which is shown as vacant land on the city’s assessing map.
