Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1954
Looking from the Milton side of the Neponset River bridge in Lower Mills, we can see the Ware and Pierce Mills. The 1902 Ware Mill was named after former Milton chocolate manufacturer Dr. Jonathan Ware (1797-1877), and the 1872 Pierce Mill at the corner where Adams Street turns was named for Henry Lillie Pierce (1825-1896), president of Walter Baker and Co. from 1854 until his death. Postcard postmarked Dec. 2, 1907.
