Dorchester Illustration no. 2189
Scan of gelatine print from The American Architect and Building News, April 2, 1892. No. 349. House of Mrs. Mary F. Mallon, Bowdoin Avenue, Dorchester, Mass., S.J.F. Thayer, Architect.
Sadly, the Samuel J.F. Thayer-designed mansion is no longer extant. Built in 1880, it stood at the corner of what is now Bowdoin Ave and Mallon Road. (from Boston Landmark’s description of Mt. Bowdoin)
The house was replaced with four 3-story, 6-family apartments numbered 20, 24, 28 and 32 Bowdoin Avenue. The house was lost sometime between 1918 and 1933. The 1918 atlas shows St. Stephens Settlement as owner.
