Item 161: Three houses on Bancroft Parkway

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A161. 1901-1916. Image depicts three different houses on Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale. All are substantial, wood-shingled, two-and-a-half story residences. The house on the right (which can be partially seen on the far left of Item 157, in this folder) has two chimneys, two gable windows in the uppermost story, and two entrances on the wide front porch. The house in the center has at least three chimneys, and several gables, all with Tudor-style wood motifs. It too has a wide front porch with two entrances. The house on the left most likely has two entrances, although only one can be seen, and has a steeply sloping back roof. An open area of grass is in the foreground; apparently only one side of the street contains residences. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. 25 x 20.25 cm.
