Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1690
Located at the corner of Washington Street and Welles Avenue, the Dorchester Temple Baptist Church was designed in 1889 by architect Arthur H. Vinal. The building is an unusual Boston example of a Shingle style church with powerful intersecting gabled roof forms and a tower showing the influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
