No. 5204 Love Coppenhagen 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 Love Coppenhagen House was located at the corner of Columbia Road and Washington Street.
The Coppenhagen’s were related to those who donated a drinking fountain for Richardson Park.
