No. 5249 Isaac Davenport House, painting on brick 65 B
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.
Nothing is known about Isaac Davenport except that his house was on Green Street (later incorporated into Geneva Avenue).
No. 3234 This photograph in the collection of the Dorchester Historical Society may have been used as the model for the painting.
No. 5279 Detail from 1858 Walling Map of Norfolk County, showing Davenport Houses on Green Street, possibly one of these was the Isaac Davenport House.
