This Month’s program has been changed from the 20th to the 27th at 2 pm, and the topic has changed.
Victorian Dorchester: The Ascent and Revival of the Railroad Suburb
Mr. Saxe presents his revised lecture on the architecture and history of the wonderful houses of 18th and 19th century Dorchester.
He will cover the neighborhoods of Five Corners, Pleasant Street, Jones Hill, Savin Hill, Melville Park, Ashmont Hill, and Carruth and explain the houses’ architectural and historical significance. Could Dorchester’s Victorian neighborhoods serve as models for the new American suburb?
Last time we had to turn people away, so this time note that the talk will be held at New England Carpenters Training Center, 750 Dorchester Avenue. Enter main lobby from the street level.
