Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1877
Photo of Neponset Fire House on Walnut Street.
The fire station building was probably constructed at least by the 1870s. The Independence Fire Engine, designated no. 5, was located in Neponset on Walnut Street next to Lorenzo Street at the entrance to Port Norfolk. There is a small park there today that can be seen as one goes around Neponset Circle.
