No. 5244 Tiger Engine Company building, 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 Tiger Engine Company #1 was located near Five Corners. The fire engines in Dorchester were listed in the 1848 Dorchester Auditor’s Report.
