No. 5183 Dalrympe Weigh Station House and platform, 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 Dalrymple Junction Weigh Station was located at the intersection of Adams Street and Dorchester Turnpike (Dorchester Avenue), later to be known as Field’s Corner.
No. 5265 Detail from the 1874 Hopkins atlas showing the scale at the intersection of Dorchester Avenue and Adams Street. The property at the point of land was owned by J.T. Dalrymple.
No. 2427 This pen and ink drawing in the collection of the Dorchester Historical Society was probably used as a draft or a model for the brick painting.
