Scope and Contents
Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B189. June 1, 1903. Image depicts a view of the side of a house on the east side of Dutcher Street in Hopedale, Massachusetts The house is a two-and-a-half story wood clapboard building with shutters on all the windows. The porch in the front (on the left) is covered with ivy or a climbing vine. An expansive lawn surrounds the house; a freestanding clothesline is in the side yard, in front of a much smaller house or storage building. A dog lays on the lawn in the center.
