Three houses on Bancroft Parkway

Negative no.A161. 1901-1916. Image depicts three different houses on Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale. All are substantial, wood-shingled, two-and-a-half story residences. The house on the right (which can be partially seen on the far left of Negative 157, in this box) has two chimneys, two gable windows in the uppermost story, and two entrances on the wide front porch. The house in the center has at least three chimneys, and several gables, all with Tudor- style wood motifs. It too has a wide front porch with two entrances. The house on the left most likely has two entrances, although only one can be seen, and has a steeply sloping back roof. An open area of grass is in the foreground; apparently only one side of the street contains residences. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 2, Folder 2, Item 161 for print of this negative.
