Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1906

27 Carruth Street circa 1900.

Scan of photograph published in The Extravaganza King by Anne Alison Barnet who tells the story of her ancestor.  This is the entertaining tale of Robert Barnet (1853-1933), a prosperous Boston sugar merchant, and the enormously popular musical theatricals he wrote and produced for the First Corps of Cadets, a volunteer militia of young upper-class Boston businessmen.  He and his family lived at 27 Carruth for a number of years.
