No. 5181 Capen Davenport 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.
The Capen Davenport House was built in 1781 on Washington Street at the corner of Wheatland Street, just about next door to the Barnard Capen House (see brick no. 1)
