Item 176: House on corner of Bancroft Parkway

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A176. 1901-1916. Image depicts a view of a house on the corner of Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale, Massachusetts The house is a substantial two-and-a-half-story wood-shingled residence, with two entrances on the front porch. All the windows have shutters; there is a bay window on the side. Although the house appears complete, some lumber is leaning up against the house in the front. Down the street to the right can be seen more substantial wood-shingled houses, all duplexes. See Item 173, in this folder, for a view of this house from the opposite angle, which does not show the houses down the street. The road is wide and unpaved; it appears quite rutted, which suggests that the neighborhood was not yet quite finished. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. 25 x 20.25 cm.
