Stoughton Street Baptist Church or North Baptist Society

No. 23308 view of the church from an illustration on the 1850 map of Dorchester

The Stoughton Street Baptist Church building is located at the corner of Stoughton Street and Sumner Street, 50 Stoughton Street.

Stoughton Street Baptist Church was organized in 1845. The church society soon built a building at the corner of Stoughton and Sumner Street. The building was nearly destroyed by fire in 1878. It was enlarged and reconstructed by 1888. The earlier church building is shown at the top of today’s illustration, and a postcard view, circa 1910, of the remodeled building is shown at the bottom.

Today, the building is owned by the Southern New England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and the congregation is called the Boston Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church.
