Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A346. September 29, 1905. Image depicts a view of units 7 through 14 at Prospect Heights in Milford, Massachusetts The units are connected townhouse style, with eight separate entrances (two are double, the others are single), and are made out of brick. The entire building is two stories with a small window visible in the third story on each end. There are chimneys on each end, in the middle, and two in the rear. Grass plots line the front, separated by walkways to each entrance. A large grassy area is in the foreground. Other housing (without the gambrel roofs) are to the right. Prospect Heights was built as housing for Draper Company employees, but most houses in Prospect Heights were brick, as opposed to the wooden housing found in Hopedale, Massachusetts The houses are believed to have been designed by Peabody & Stearns.
