Item 170: C. M. Day House, Hopedale Street (east), 1903

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B170. May 12, 1903. Image depicts a two-story house with attic, shutters at the windows, and a front porch that stretches the length of the house. A porte-cochere (carriage porch) is barely visible on the left; it appears to be an extension of the porch. The house is set back from Hopedale Street (in the foreground) behind a row of bushes and some lawn. Two trees flank Hopedale Street in front of the house. This is the house in which Charles and Lura Day lived; she was the daughter of Joseph and Sylvia Bancroft. The lot was owned by F. M. Day in the 1890s and was on the corner of Hopedale and Hope streets. Hope Street would be to the right, beyond the edge of the image. The house stands opposite the Bancroft Memorial Library, which was built in 1898. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 25.25 x 20.25 cm.
