This house at 22 Morrill St. was built in the 1890s. It was bought by William H. Brown and Catherine Brown in 1926. The Browns owned the house until 1938, when they failed to make the mortgage payments.
Today’s illustration is a picture of the house from November 1941, at the time the Mt. Washington Co-operative Bank was selling the house at a price of $4,200. The house was owned by the bank until Herbert L and Helen M. Dill purchased it in 1942.
A few street lights of the type seen in the foreclosure photo can still be found in Dorchester along Wellesley Park.
