Item 164: Houses on Bancroft Parkway

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A164. 1901-1916. Image depicts houses on Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale, Massachusetts Substantial two-and-a-half story, wood-shingled houses line the unpaved road. Electric poles can be seen on the right-hand side of the road. Most of the houses have two chimneys and are duplexes, as Hopedale housing built for Draper Company employees was generally not larger than a duplex. See Item 167, in this folder, for an almost identical view but with bare trees and without the bushes planted next to one of the houses. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. 25 x 20.25 cm.
