This charming home traces its roots back to a land sale in 1898, when Joseph W. Reddy transferred over 10 acres to Edward Gately and Thomas F. Reddy. Built in 1904 by real estate investor Charles F. Dow using a design by noted architect Charles E. Park, the home may share its blueprint with others in Boston. Over the decades, it has housed generations of families—from liquor dealers to clothing merchants—and weathered the Great Depression. With original deed restrictions reflecting the era’s vision for refined residential living, 26 Potosi Street offers not just a place to live, but a window into Boston’s rich architectural and social history.
