Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1998 Ashmont Hall

Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1998

We have seen Ashmont Hall in the past from its north side. Here is the south side.

Known as Ashmont Hall, this bungalow-type building housed “elegant social evenings,” children’s dancing classes, a neighborhood kindergarten and a private school program. Built between 1884 and 1889, it was utilized as the Ashmont Universalist Church beginning about 1894.  It is now a private residence.
