The transformation of Dorchester between 1850 and the Civil War, fueled by the Old Colony Railroad, sparked a significant residential building boom that shaped the area for decades. Annexed to Boston in 1870, Dorchester became a vital part of the city, showcasing the distinctive three-decker architecture by the Great Depression. This book, part of the Then & Now series, juxtaposes vintage images with modern photographs to delve into the history of the community's schools, places of worship, transportation, and historic homes.
