Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1982
Although I am not sure where on Bowdoin Street the Samuel Topliff was located, we presume that it was near where Topliff Street is located. If that is the case, the building at the back right is probably the house known as Mt Ida or Mt Potosi, home to Thaddeus Mason Harris and later Nahum Capen.
