Street of houses in Prospect Heights, Milford, Massachusetts, 1903

 File — Box: 136, Folder: 190

Scope and Contents

Negative no.B190. Image depicts a line of houses in Prospect Heights, Milford, Massachusetts The first in the line is a series of connected townhouses, with eight total entrances. The next house appears to be detached (there are two small children in front of it), and then a second set of connected townhouses, with a detached house beyond that, etc. These are two-story brick buildings designed to accommodate multiple families. These buildings feature Tudor-style timbering in the gables on the end building, roofed entrances (some single, some double), and shutters at all the windows (some closed). 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. See Box 22, Negative 340 for a closer view of the end houses. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 12, Folder 5, Item 190 for print of this negative.
