Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1937
Today we have a silver-plated teapot made by the Roswell Gleason factory, which was located on the east side of Washington Street between Park Street and Bowdoin Street from the 1830s to about 1870.
For more detail about Gleason see Anthony Sammarco’s History:
