J. W. Dolliver's Café, Boston, Massachusetts, ca. 1875


"J. W. Dolliver's Café, 111 State & 5 Broad Streets, choice fruit & cigars. All orders for catering promptly executed."
The Boston Globe for Monday, February 1, 1875, p. 5, reported that a "fire in the cellar of James Dolliver's café on the corner of State and Broad streets" the previous Saturday caused damage to the café and to the Western Union Telegraph Company office located next door.
James W. Dolliver was also listed in city directories as the proprietor of a restaurant at the Custom House in Boston, but I'm not certain if or for how long he continued to operate his café at State and Broad Streets after the fire in 1875. And I'm not sure why "5 Broad Street" was crossed out on this copy of his business card.
There's no longer any trace of a café at the corner of State and Broad streets in Boston. Perhaps Mr. Dolliver would be satisfied to know, however, that the Google Street view dated August 2017 does show a Dunkin' Donuts at that location. I doubt, though, that the fonts on DD's business cards are as elaborate as the ones on Dolliver's.
