The Ashmont Fire Station was built in 1895 from designs provided by Edmund Marsh Wheelwright. He was the architect of the Boston Opera House, Horticultural House, Longfellow Bridge, etc.
This historic square at the intersection of Ashmont Street and... Dorchester Avenue was named for Oliver Peabody, a 19th c. benefactor of the historic All Saints' church here. In summer there is a great farmers' market in front of the T station. Close by Ashmont Grill and Tavolo are good restaurants.(Show more)
