Dorchester Illustration no. 2165
Postcard with a view eastward along Ashmont Street from the intersection of Ashmont, Ocean and Burt Streets. About 1910.
The house at the far right is 121 Ashmont Street, then 123, 131, 139, 145.
The most dramatic change has been to 123 Ashmont Street, which has lost its tower. Building permits indicate that the tower was taken down in 1952. The porch on the first floor was enclosed earlier, but the jalousy windows now in place were probably installed in the 1950s.
