Houses on Bancroft Parkway

Negative no.A184. 1901-1916. Image depicts a view of a row of houses on Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale, Massachusetts All are substantial, two-and-a-half-story wood-shingled houses done in different architectural styles. The houses on the left-hand side of the street have trees and bushes planted and there is a paved sidewalk on that side of the street; those houses may have been constructed before the right-hand side of the street.

These houses were built for Draper Company employees.
