Edward A. Huebener Brick Collection no. 98 House on the North Side

No. 5641 Brick from House on the North Side.  This brick may be from the north side of the Humphreys House.

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.

This brick was never painted. Bricks in the collection were identified to keep them in order. Perhaps this means the north side of the Humphreys House, but the meaning is unclear.
