Peabody Square
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.

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.
Such a cute square! Like any where else in the city , though, try to avoid it late at night.
Square was named after Colonel Oliver Peabody and his wife Mary in 1893. Peabody was the founder of Kidder, Peabody & Co.
Clock was added to square in 1910; refurbished in 2003.
Hope on the Red Line at Ashmont station for a quick and easy trek into Boston.
