The following editorial was published in the Dorchester Reporter on April 17, 2013. The clock in Peabody Square didn’t stop itself. Jeff Gonyeau, a neighbor from Ocean Street, has the only set of keys to the restored timepiece that stands watch at the corner of Ashmont Street and Dorchester Ave. On Tuesday morning, Jeff walked down to the square and set the clock to 2:50 p.m.
The dome and lantern tower of Dorchester’s Second Church has been standing proudly above Codman Square since 1806. Last week, it was removed from its perch for critical structural repairs. Jeff Gonyeau, a Dorchester resident and preservation expert who has been heading up the Second Church’s repair project, said the decision to remove the steeple’s elements was made quickly
While everyone else is bringing in the new for 2023, it’s the old that leaders in Codman Square hope might bring revival to the area this year. Fueled by funds from the Community Preservation Act (CPA), the Henderson Foundation, and the Amelia Peabody Charitable Fund, significant revamps are set this year for The Second Church, the Great Hall, and the Codman Burial Ground.
