Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1796
Another photo from Bob Rugo possibly shows the Henry Crane stable that stood at 1167 Washington Street prior to 1890 in the same spot as the building we saw in yesterday’s illustration.
Looks as if the driver in the photo is all ready for the Super Dorchester Tour.
Super Dorchester Trolley Tour – Sunday June 24
Begins at 12 noon sharp and will take about 2 ½ hours
A box lunch will be provided on the trolley
$35 per person – this is not a fundraiser, just covering the cost of the trolleys and lunch

Join us for a guided trolley tour from the north to the south, winding our way from the Dorchester Historical Society, through Upham’s Corner, Jones Hill, Savin Hill, Meetinghouse Hill, Field’s Corner, Harrison Square-Clam Point, Melville Avenue-Wellesley Park, Codman Square, Ashmont Hill, Ashmont-Adams, Adams Corner, Lower Mills, Port Norfolk and back to the Dorchester Historical Society.

I am a relative of Stephen Badlam and have family journals – a piece of Dorchester art work – poker picture – Baldam family purchased from Robert Ball Hughes in Dorchester with date 1800’s. Perhaps I culd bring it to be displayed in an upcoming art show of works by Dorchester artists. I would like to connect with the Society and attend some functions even though I live in the DC area. I can travel. Gail Houle
Thank you. I noticed that you have joined the Society. We would welcome your poker picture for the art show. Please let me know if you are able to come to the Dorchester Descendants events at the end of June.
