Deer Island Alms House
Bring a little Boston home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
The next drink can sit beside a book or a few minutes with friends at the table. The Deer Island Alms House stands within an architectural harbor view, placing Boston's planned institution beside its island and water setting.
The source records J.H. Bufford & Co. 1849 printed architectural harbor view, titled erecting on Deer Island. The view preserves a particular relationship between Boston Harbor and its shore. Water, buildings and routes form a record of local maritime life at the time of the source.
The print connects a civic institution with its harbor-island location, keeping a documented building project within the city's historical landscape without assuming residents' experiences. Keep it ready for water at the table or a drink with friends, giving the picture a place in an ordinary gathering.
