Item 160: Town Hall, Hopedale Street (west side), 1903

 File — Box: 12, Folder: 4

Scope and Contents

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B160. May 12, 1903. Image depicts a three-story stone building situated on the corner of Hopedale Street (in front of the building) and another, unknown street on the right. The building was designed by architect Fred Swasey of Milford and built in 1886; note the cornerstone with the phrase "anno domini" and the date in Roman numerals. The building appears to be in the Romanesque style, somewhat similar to that of H. H. Richardson. The building has two chimneys and a gabled roof with decorative ironwork running along the upper edge. There are three entrances at the front, one of which is to the post office (note the two windows labeled "Post Office") and another to the left to another business. The curved archway is probably the entrance to the town hall itself. See also Box 3, Folder 2, Item 351. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 25.25 x 20.25 cm.
