Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1938 Pierce House

Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1938

The Pierce House on Oakton Avenue, built in 1683, has been a popular subject for photos over the years, partly due to its lean-to backside.  Boston Edison put out a small series of lithographs in the mid twentieth century including a drawing of the Pierce by Nelson Fisher.

Historic New England owns the house and provides the history of it at
