No. 5196 Mandell School, painting on brick
Edward A. Huebener, a former Board member of the Dorchester Historical Society, was a collector of materials relating to Dorchester history including a very large collection of graphic materials, including prints and photographs, now owned by the Society. His very own contribution to this group of materials was the idea of taking a brick from a house that had been demolished and asking a local illustrator to paint a picture of the house upon the brick. The painted bricks may be viewed at the Dorchester Historical Society.
The Mandell School was located on Bowdoin Street.
No. 2482 This photograph in the collection of the Dorchester Historical Society was probably used as the model for the brick painting.
