The Baker Warehouse at 4 River Street was built in 1947 for
Walter Baker & Co., which was a division of General Foods.
It is a significant example of the modern industrial design
of Walter Kidde Constructors, Inc. The development team first
met with members of the Lower Mills Community in March 1998
to discuss redevelopment of the vacant building. The project
improved shopping opportunities for residents of Dorchester
Lower Mills, sensitively restored the building, enhanced pedestrian
and vehicular safety, and improved the streetscape.
