No. 5200 Richard 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.
Nothing much is known of Richard Davenport. The house was located on Hancock Street, which carried the name Commercial Street in the 1858 map.
No. 3225 This photograph may have served as the model for the painting on brick.
No. 22072 The house was located near the city yds which means that this house stood where the City now has property across from the foot of Bowdoin Street at Kane Square.
