Stoughton Street Baptist Church
Dorchester Illustration 2650
Stoughton Street Baptist Church was organized in 1845. The church society soon built a building at the corner of Stoughton and Sumner Street, now 50 Stoughton St. The building was nearly destroyed by fire in 1878. It was enlarged and reconstructed by 1888. The earlier church building is shown at the top of today’s illustration, and a postcard view, circa 1910, of the remodeled building is shown at the bottom.
Today, the building is owned by the Southern New England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and the congregation is called the Boston Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church.
