Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1778
The painting of Savin Hill is by Michael Olcott Barry. Savin Hill 1830 represents one of the finest accomplishments of 19th century landscape artistry in Dorchester. In this painting we see Savin Hill from Pope’s Hill. Barry was married to Martha Howe Worthington whose father owned nearly all the land shown in the painting. Today the area known as Savin Hill is home to thousands of residents.
