Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1916
Historic New England has in its collections a set of architectural drawings by Jacob Luippold (c. 1846-1917). Today’s illustration shows his elevation for the Philip Albret House, Dorchester, 1888. Later directories show that Albret lived at 10 Folsom Street. The 1889 map does not show a house at that location, but the 1894 map does with Albret’s name attached to it.
Today we have the architect’s elevation and a photo of the house as it is today.
