Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 2062
Postcard. Caption on front: Pierce Square, Milton Lower Mills, Mass. Postally unused. On verso: Printed in Germany. A.M.S. 8102.
Obviously this Dorchester Lower Mills, not the Milton side of the river. Today Dunkin Donuts is in the building at the right. The building at the left is gone, replaced by the parking area for the Baker Chocolate administration building. The pink building in the center is where Dark Horse Antiques is now. The brick building in the center of the photo is the Gilbert Stuart School, replaced by the Lower Mills Branch Library. The steeple behind it was the steeple of the Unitarian Church that stood where the CVS is today.
