Dorchester Illustration no. 2179
Today we have a photo of Peabody Square published in 1895 in a booklet called Picturesque Boston Highlands, Jamaica Plain and Dorchester.
The photo shows what is now O’Briens Market on the left and the train station at the north of the square. It looks as if the market took up the whole first floor at that time.
