Houses on Bancroft Parkway

Negative no.A164. 1901-1916. Image depicts houses on Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale, Massachusetts Substantial two-and-a-half story, wood-shingled houses line the unpaved road. Electric poles can be seen on the right-hand side of the road. Most of the houses have two chimneys and are duplexes, as Hopedale housing built for Draper Company employees was generally not larger than a duplex.

These houses were built for Draper Company employees. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 2, Folder 2, Item 164 for print of this negative.
