 Dorchester Illustration of the Day
Friendship Hall and Davenport House
Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1383
Responses to yesterday’s email about Atlantic indicate that most likely the Gibbon House was in the Atlantic section of north Quincy. One response said that Savin Hill Avenue used to be called Atlantic. There is a section of Hull that is called Atlantic as well.
Today’s Illustration:
Friendship Hall and Samuel Davenport House, Cracker Hollow
Construction on Friendship Hall, which was set back on a curved drive from Bowdoin Street, between the corner of Geneva Avenue and Blakeville Street, was started in 1844, and the building was dedicated January 22, 1845 by Norfolk Lodge No. 48, I.O.O.F., which met there for fifty years. Many other societies, social, political and fraternal gathered here during the last half of the nineteenth century. About 1915 the old structure was torn down to make room for a garage.
