Photo of the Dorchester Carpet Cleaning Co. at 315 Adams Street, owned by Edward A. Huebener, who had his furniture repair business in the same building. Huebener was the eccentric gentleman who collected bricks from Dorchester buildings and hired artists to paint house portraits of the buildings on the face of the bricks. His collection is now at the Dorchester Historical Society.
Photograph is from late 19th century or early years of the 20th century. 315 Adams Street is on the west side of Adams Street between Park and Gibson Streets.
