Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1883
Edwin J. Lewis Jr. was a Dorchester resident and architect of many of its shingle-style houses. He also designed the Janet M. Wilson Memorial Chapel in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, and Christ Church at the corner of Dorhester Avenue and Dix Street here in Dorchester. Richard Heath sent a picture of the Chapel in Boothbay, and today we can see that chapel in contrast to Christ Church. Both seem to be in the Gothic Revival style.
Christ Church now seems to be the home of the Bethel Hispanic Seventh Day Adventist Church/Iglesia Adventista Hispana de Bethel, 1 Dix St.
