Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1642
Raising the flagstaff at Uphams Corner from Dorchester Day book 1909.
It seems as if the street must be Columbia Road, but what is the building (or buildings) behind the flagpole? It may be the Edward Everett School when it was located on Sumner Street. I am guessing that the flagpole in the distance must be at Richardson Park near Edward Everett Square.
