Dr. Tudor and License Plate #1

Standing beside his 1948 Mercury convertible bearing Massachusetts license plate #1 is Dr. Frederic Tudor, former chief of staff of the Milton Hospital. In 1940, Dr. Tudor, a well known physician, inherited the license plate from his father, and it became popularly known in the town, as well as a coveted family license plate. Dr. Tudor lived at 51 Randolph Avenue, a Greek Revival cottage built about 1830 by lumber merchant Robert McIlvanie Todd which the physician adapted for both his home and a small doctor’s office.
