Sarah Davidson Apartment Block

The Sarah Davidson Apartment Block is a historic commercial and multifamily residential building at 3 Gaylord Street in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The three story brick, sandstone and copper Classical Revival building was constructed in 1901 to a design by A. B. Pinkham. The building, located at the corner of Gaylord and Washington Streets, has three commercial storefronts facing Washington Street, which are separated by sandstone piers. The residential entrance lies on Gaylord Street recessed in a rounded sandstone archway. The exterior of the upper floors consists of protruding sections finished in pressed copper, including a rounded corner section, and sections of brick. A heavy denticulated copper cornice overhangs both street-facing facades.[2]
