About Landmark Public House in Dorchester

Landmark Public House continues a long tradition of food, drinks and community in the heart of Adams Village.

A Gathering Place Since 1908


The Beginning

Built in 1908 by Charles Adams, the Sunnyside Waiting Room & General Store became a gathering place for the Dorchester community near the end of the trolley line in what would become Adams Village.


A Neighborhood Tradition

In the 1970s, the property became Gerard’s Adams Corner Restaurant & General Store, continuing its role as a neighborhood destination for local families, food, and conversation.

Proudly Local. Proudly Dorchester.
