Item 1013: Hopedale, Massachusetts: aerial view from Draper Co. chimney looking east, houses on Dutcher Street

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A1013. 1891-1895. Image depicts an aerial view of part of Hopedale, Massachusetts, taken from (the top of) the chimney of the Draper Company. Image shows houses on Dutcher Street, but from a different angle than that seen in Item 1012, in this folder. A number of the houses have free-standing clotheslines in them with laundry. The dark-colored, three-and-a-half story house on the left may be a boardinghouse, as it has a fire escape on the side. These houses were probably constructed for employees of the Draper Company. Wooded land behind the houses but a very large house can be glimpsed in the center background. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 25.25 x 20.25 cm.
