Close-up view of housing in Prospect Heights, Milford, Massachusetts, 1905

Negative no.A340. September 6, 1905. Image depicts a closer view of a line of townhouses in Prospect Heights, two-story brick buildings designed to accommodate two or more families. These buildings feature Tudor-style timbering in the gables, roofed entrances (some single, some double), and shutters at all the windows (some closed). Based on the entrances this set of townhouses probably contained eight apartments. There are small lawns in front between the houses and the street. Open space is in the foreground. Prospect Heights was built as housing for Draper Company employees, but most houses in Prospect Heights were brick, as opposed to the wooden housing found in Hopedale, Massachusetts The houses are believed to have been designed by Peabody & Stearns. These houses can also be seen at the beginning of a stretch of homes in Box 136, Negative 190. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 3, Folder 1, Item 340 for print of this negative.
