Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 2005
Photograph of 10 Radford Lane looking up at the backs of houses on Carruth Street.
The house at the very left is 33 Carruth Street at the corner of Carruth and Radford Lane. The house in the center is 10 Radford Lane, designed by Edwin J. Lewis, Jr., built about 1890 (it appears on the 1894 map). The house on the right was later moved to 80 Van Winkle Street. It was the first house to be built on Carruth Street in 1872-1873 at the corner of Carruth and Van Winkle. In 1897 it was moved to Van Winkle Street and turned 90 degrees. The cupola was removed in 1941. In its place on the corner at 41 Carruth Street, the Ashmont Cooperative Society built a new house (building permit dated 1900).
