Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1991
Several people emailed to inquire about St. Paul’s Church. It seems to have begun as a mission of St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church with the building we saw yesterday on Woodward Park Street. The later church is shown today in a photograph from 2003. The wooden building was built between 1894 and 1898, and the stone church in today’s photo was built sometime between 1918 and 1933. More recently known as Holy Family Church, it is located west of Upham’s Corner on Hartford Street between Robin Hood and Lingard Streets.
