BOSTON — Want to own a piece of Boston history? An auction is scheduled for Wednesday at the recently closed Doyle’s Café in Jamaica Plain.

Doyle’s on Washington Street had been a community gathering spot for 137 years before shutting its doors in October.

Auctioneer E.F. Smith is advertising a wide variety of items for sale from the restaurant, which was full of political, sports and beer memorabilia. Buyers can bid on a “very large quantity of political signs going back over 75 years,” featuring the likes of former presidents John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton, and the late Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.
