Scope and Contents

Negative no.B99. 1905? Image depicts a group of two-story brick buildings (although some seem to have at least one floor partially below ground) designed to accommodate two or more families. The buildings' features include multiple chimneys, shutters at each window, and lawns. An open field is in the foreground. There are three children barely visible in the road on the right, and hanging laundry on a clothesline on the left. 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. See Box 22, Negative 339 and Box 23, Negative 347 for views of some of these houses but from a narrower angle. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 12, Folder 3, Item 99 for print of this negative.
