Item 206: Houses and Hopedale Park

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A206. 1903- 1906. Image depicts a view of a section of Hopedale Park. An unpaved road cuts through the foreground, behind which is a low stone wall with low stone pillars, which may mark the entrance (or one of the entrances) to the park. A post-and-wire fence sets off the park from five houses, which are visible in the background. It is possible this image was taken before the park had been fully established and the park and surrounding area had been landscaped. See also Item 204, in this folder. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 25 x 20.25 cm.
