Edward A. Huebener Brick Collection no. 102 Captain Percival Eaton House

No. 5240 Captain Percival Eaton House, 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.

This house was located on Green Street. Green Street is now Geneva Avenue, but the part of Geneva Avenue from Fields Corner to Bowdoin Street did not exist when this would have been built, so it would have been between Bowdoin Street and what is now Columbia Road.
