Collection material in English
The Draper Corporation was once the largest maker of power looms for the textile industry in the United States. It operated
in Hopedale, Massachusetts for more than 130 years.
This collection consists of two series: Series A, 5 inch by 7 inch glass plate negatives, approximately 1,500; and Series
B, 8 inch by 10 inch glass plate negatives, approximately 2,000.
Many of the photographs in Series A depict company outings, or "Field Days." These events were most likely organized by the
Draper Company and may have consisted entirely of Draper Company employees. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George
and
Ebenezer Draper were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational
spaces, in addition to employment.
Series B consists largely of machinery built by the Draper Company. Also included are photographs of the company plant, employee
housing, recreational facilities, and the surrounding area.
All negatives in this collection have been printed, please see collection 6612 P: Draper Corporation Photographs. Of the roughly
3,500 negatives 513 have been described at the individual level. Those descriptions are available in the container lists for
both this collection and collection 6612 P.
The container list for this collection is not complete. Only those negatives that had descriptions from the American Textile
History Museum are included as "Folders." The negative number has been used as the "folder number" in order to allow for
descriptions for the currently undescribed negatives to be added with any re-numbering.

Negative no.A994. 1891-1895. Image depicts a view of the Temple Shop at the Draper Company in Hopedale, Massachusetts The
view shows a counter along the windows on the right and machinery, including lathes, on the left. A temple is a device on
a loom
located near the fell of the cloth, one on each side; temples hold the cloth out as wide as possible during the process
of weaving and prevent it from being drawn in too much by the filling. See Negative 1000, in this box, for a view of the Temple
Shop
with a dozen employees and taken from the opposite angle as this one. The Temple Shop was built in 1868 for W. W. Dutcher.
The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. See box 4, folder 1065 for a very similar shot. 5 x 7
in. See
Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 994 for print of this negative.

Negative no.A997. 1891-1895. Image depicts a view of Adin Street in Hopedale, Massachusetts Adin Street is unpaved but has
paved sidewalks. In the center background is the Eben S. Draper House, built in 1885 by architect George T. Clarke of Boston.
The house is three stories with multiple gables. Another house is to the left, further in the background. Eben Sumner
Draper (1858-1914) was a leading figure in what later became the Draper Corporation, and served as the governor of Massachusetts
between
1909 and 1911. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 997

Negative no.A998. 1891-1895. Image depicts a view of Adin Street at the corner of another, unnamed street in Hopedale, Massachusetts
Both streets are unpaved, but the far corner has a sidewalk and several stone steps leading up the house glimpsed
behind the trees. The amount of space around the house suggests this was a upper-class neighborhood. Original photograph
by the Draper Company. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 998 for print of this negative.

| Box 1 | Folder 999 | ||
|
Negative no.A999. 1891-1895. Image depicts a view of the Drafting Room at the Draper Company in Hopedale, Massachusetts Four
male employees are visible; three sitting at drafting tables, and one leaning against a cabinet of drawers in the rear. Two
framed prints hang on the wall in the rear with others propped up on the cabinet of drawers. The man seated on the
left is dressed in a three-piece suit and wears a hat; he also holds a shuttle in his hands. The man leaning in the back also
wears a
three-piece suit and a hat. The man second to the left wears a vest but not a suit jacket; the man on the right wears
a three-piece suit. Although taken from the same angle as seen in Box 3, Negative 1051, the arrangement of furniture is different,
and
this photo was probably taken at a different time. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms.

Negative no.A1000. 1891-1895. Image depicts the male employees of the Temple Shop at the Draper Company in Hopedale, Massachusetts
A dozen men, some in work clothes, and two in suits, stand in the Temple Shop, among equipment including lathes. A
temple is a device on a loom located near the fell of the cloth, one on each side; temples hold the cloth out as wide
as possible during the process of weaving and prevent it from being drawn in too much by the filling. See Negative 994, in
this box,
for a view of the Temple Shop without employees and taken from the opposite angle as this one. The Temple Shop was
built in 1868 for W. W. Dutcher, a three-story brick factory on Social Street. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery,
primarily looms. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1000 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 1 | Folder 1001 | ||
|
Negative no.A1001. 1891-1895. Image depicts a two-story building designed in 1880 by architect Fred Swasey of Milford. A few
men are standing on the porch entryway, barely visible under the overhang of the entryway roof. In the background are two
smokestacks and partial views of a mill building and residences. Social Street runs in front of the building. The Draper
Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1001 for print
of
this negative.

|||
| Box 1 | Folder 1003 | ||
|
Negative no.A1003. 1891-1895. Image depicts workers standing at the top of a scaffolded chimney that stands more than twice
the height of three-story mill buildings to the left and right. The chimney extends through the roof of a one or two-story
building in the center. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. Very similar to Negative
1004, in this box. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1003 for print of this negative.

the height of three-story mill buildings to the left and right. The chimney extends through the roof of a one or two-story
building in the center. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1004 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 1 | Folder 1005 | ||
|
Negative no.A1005. 1891-1895. Image depicts a Northrop battery attached to a loom manufactured by Kilburn, Lincoln & Co. A
battery is a mechanism found on single box automatic looms. The battery holds a plentiful supply of filling bobbins and
transfers them, one at a time, to the shuttle as the need arises. A shuttle has been placed on the cloth being woven
on the loom. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms including the Northrop loom. Kilburn, Lincoln
&
Co. was based in Fall River. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1005 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 1 | Folder 1006 | ||
|
Negative no.A1006. 1891-1895. Image depicts a two-story wooden residence with an attic and two chimneys. The home has a front
porch and upper- and lower-story bay windows at the left side. Laundry hangs on clothesline on the far left. Other homes are
partially in view. A front lawn reaches to the curbstone on Adin Street, which is unpaved. George M. Burgess was employed
by Draper and had at least two patents to his name for improvements in textile machinery. Original photograph by the Draper
Company. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1006 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 1 | Folder 1007 | ||
|
Negative no.A1007. 1891-1895. Image depicts a man in suit and tie examining a loom equipped with a Northrup battery. Note
the box of bobbins on the left; this may be a broader view of the battery seen in Negative 1005, in this box. The man is unknown
but is probably someone in management. The loom was photographed in front of a sheet, probably in an unknown mill.
5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1007 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 1 | Folder 1008 | ||
|
Negative no.A1008. 1891-1895. Image shows an aerial view of part of Hopedale, Massachusetts, taken from the (top of the) chimney
of the Draper Company. The Bancroft house is at the bottom (presumably Joseph Bancroft's house--Bancroft was George
Draper's brother-in-law); the Adin Ballou house is at the center left (Ballou was the founder of the Hopedale Community
in 1842); and George Draper's house is at the center along Hopedale Street. Other residences, business buildings, and churches
line
neighboring town streets, but no part of the Draper Company complex is visible. Original photograph by the Draper Company.
5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1008 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 1 | Folder 1009 | ||
|
Negative no.A1009. 1891-1895. Image depicts the pattern shop at Draper Company. Here is where wooden patterns of gears and
parts would be made before the parts would be manufactured in metal form. Six male workers are visible, standing around the
shop. A saw is visible halfway down the aisle on the left. Several tables are laid out in a line down the room and
carpenters' tools can be seen on the shelves in the right background. The Pattern Shop was located in a three-story brick
building on
Social Street, on the west side of Mill River. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms.
See Box 2, Negative 1027 for another view of this room with some of the same employees. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box
1, Folder 5,
Item 1009 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 1 | Folder 1011 | ||
|
Negative no.A1011. 1891-1895. Image depicts an aerial view of part of Hopedale, Massachusetts, taken from (the top of) the
chimney of the Draper Company. A [Draper Co.?] boarding house and the Hopedale Elastic Fabric Company are at center left on
Dutcher St. at Freedom St., built in 1887. Other residential buildings are scattered around, although most of the area
is open fields. It is unclear exactly which building is the Hopedale Elastic Fabric Company as all of the buildings appear
to be
residential, unless it is the partial building seen on the left. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 5 x 7 in.
See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1011 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 1 | Folder 1012 | ||
|
Negative no.A1012. 1891-1895. Image depicts an aerial view of part of Hopedale, Massachusetts, taken from (the top of) the
chimney of the Draper Company. Image shows houses on Dutcher Street. The three houses in the center (in front of the grove
of
trees) appear to be worker housing, as the two single-families on the right and the two-family on the left appear identical
in style. Other houses can be seen further in the distance. See also another view of houses on Dutcher Street in Negative
1013,
in this box. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1012

Negative no.A1013. 1891-1895. Image depicts an aerial view of part of Hopedale, Massachusetts, taken from (the top of) the
chimney of the Draper Company. Image shows houses on Dutcher Street, but from a different angle than that seen in Negative
1012,
in this box. A number of the houses have free-standing clotheslines in them with laundry. The dark-colored, three-and-a-half
story house on the left may be a boardinghouse, as it has a fire escape on the side. These houses were probably constructed
for
employees of the Draper Company. Wooded land behind the houses but a very large house can be glimpsed in the center
background. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1013 for print
of this
negative.
|
|||
| Box 2 | Folder 1016 | ||
|
Negative no.A1016. 1891-1895. Image depicts a view of the No. 3 automatic screw machine. Photographed in front of a white
sheet, possibly in an unknown textile mill. See Negative 1017, in this box, for a view of this machine showing the toothed
wheel.

| Box 2 | Folder 1018 | ||
|
Negative no.A1018. 1891-1895. Image depicts a view from presumably the roof of the Draper Company's machine screw shop, showing
single- and multi-family homes lining town streets near the company. Most of these residences were probably for Draper
Company employees. The foreground view looks down onto a roof with three skylights and a number of vent pipes, probably
part of the machine screw shop. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder
5, Item
1018 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 2 | Folder 1019 | ||
|
Negative no.A1019. 1891-1895. Image depicts a view of Hopedale Pond looking north from Freedom Street. View taken from Draper
Company shop, probably from the roof, as the view is quite high. One house on the left in the foreground; another house in
the center left appears to have piles of granite rubble or rocks to the left and behind it. Another building is seen
on the edge of the pond in the center distance. Most of the image consists of pond and open ground. Original photograph by
the Draper
Company. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 5, Item 1019 for print of this negative.

photograph by the Draper Company. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 6, Item 1023 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 2 | Folder 1024 | ||
|
Negative no.A1024. 1891-1895. Image depicts the spindle & rink factory at center right, showing a complex of three-story brick
buildings with three chimneys in a row on the left, behind which is a taller chimney. A covered walkway slopes down
on the left to a smaller building on the far left. The view looks north with the river and rural surroundings in background.
The spindle factory, built in 1881, was the business known as A.A. Westcott & Sons. It was located in a section of
Hopedale known as Spindleville, after the factory. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 5 x 7 in. See Collection
6612 P, Box 1, Folder 6, Item 1024 for print of this negative.

|
Negative no.A1026. 1891-1895. Image depicts an aerial view, possibly taken from a Draper Co. chimney, of business and residential
buildings lining several town streets. Not the same view seen in Box 3, Negative 1044. Original photograph by the Draper
Company. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 6, Item 1026 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 2 | Folder 1027 | ||
|
Negative no.A1027. 1891-1895. Image depicts the pattern room, also called the pattern shop, at Draper Company. Here is where
wooden patterns of gears and parts would be made before the parts would be manufactured in metal form. Six male workers are
visible, standing around the shop. Several tables are laid out in a line down the room and carpenters' tools can be
seen on the shelves in the right background. More tools are on the counters under the windows on the right. The Draper Company
manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. See Box 1, Negative 1009 for another view of this room with some of
the same employees. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 6, Item 1027 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 2 | Folder 1028 | ||
|
Negative no.A1028. 1891-1895. Image depicts a chimney that shows damage at the top and a pile of bricks and rubble on the
ground in front of it. Scaffolding around the chimney appears to be higher than the top of the chimney, which suggests that
possibly something went wrong during construction, although it is possible scaffolding was erected higher than the
top of the damaged chimney in order to rebuild it. A four-story brick building appears in the background. In front of that
is a platform
on which a number of workers can be seen. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. See Negative
1029, in this box, for a closer view of the damage at the base of the chimney and Negative 1030 and Negative 1032, also in
this
box, for close-up views of the interior damage. See Box 1, Negative 1003 for an image of the chimney, much taller than
here, under construction. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 6, Item 1028 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 2 | Folder 1029 | ||
|
Negative no.A1029. 1891-1895. Image depicts the rubble at the base of a wrecked chimney at the Draper Company, which most
likely occurred during the construction phase. The scaffolding surrounding the chimney is damaged. The engine room below it
is
also damaged with the partial collapse of a wall and a portion of the roof. Debris from the scaffolding and bricks
litter the remaining roof and yard below the chimney. See Negative 1028, in this box, for a broader angle of the chimney collapse.
See
Negative 1030 and Negative 1031, also in this box, for close-ups of the interior damage. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612
P, Box 1, Folder 6, Item 1029 for print of this negative.
|
|||
| Box 2 | Folder 1030 | ||
|
Negative no.A1030. 1891-1895. Image depicts interior damage and debris in the engine room following a chimney collapse, most
likely during the construction phase. Most of the debris appears to be scaffolding. See Negative 1028 and negative 1029, in
this box, for exterior views of the damage involving chimney scaffolding, engine room wall, and roof, and Negative
1031, also in this box, for another close-up shot. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 6, Item 1030 for print of
this
negative.
|
|||
| Box 2 | Folder 1031 | ||
|
Negative no.A1031. 1891-1895. Image depicts another view of the interior damage and debris following a chimney collapse, most
likely during the construction phase. A workman is standing amidst the debris. See Negative 1030, in this box, for another
close-up view of the damage, and Negative 1028 and Negative 1029, also in this box, for exterior views of the damage
involving the chimney scaffolding, engine room wall, and roof. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 6, Item 1031
for print of
this negative.
|
|||
| Box 2 | Folder 1032 | ||
|
Negative no.A1032. 1891-1895. Image depicts two wooden houses facing a sidewalk and street. Both houses are most likely duplexes
as Draper Company housing in Hopedale was rarely larger. Three other homes are partially in view on another street in the
background. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 6,
Item 1032 for print of this negative.

Negative no.A54. 1894-1900. Image depicts a view of a D model loom with a worm gear take-up motion, photographed against a
sheet, probably in an unknown mill. The take-up motion is a mechanism on a loom for taking up the cloth as it is woven. The
speed with which it performs this action determines the number of picks per inch. A worm gear take-up motion is continuous,
as opposed to the intermittent motion. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. 5 x 7 in. See

Negative no.A55. Image depicts a close-up view of an F-model loom seen from one end, showing the picker stick. (The picker
stick, by delivering a sharp blow to the shuttle, causes the shuttle to be thrown from one shuttle box, across the race plate,
into the opposite shuttle box.) The F model loom was designed for an extra heavy pattern for goods 72 inches and wider.
A notation on the back of the print reads: "F Model Loom Feb 1900." See Negative 48, in this box, for a broader view of an
F model

Negative no.A62. 1894-1900. Image depicts a view of a J model dobby loom, with 20 harnesses. A dobby loom is a loom equipped
with a dobby and capable of weaving small figures. The dobby is a mechanism attached to a loom for controlling the operation
of the harnesses. Dobbies are made so that they can operate up to 25 harnesses and by this means figured cloths can
be woven. The harness is the frame containing the heddles through which the warp threads are drawn prior to weaving. By lifting
or
lowering the harnesses in the loom the shed is formed. The shed is the opening formed when some warp threads are raised
by their harnesses while others are left down. Forming the shed is the first action in weaving, and it is through the shed
that the
shuttle passes in inserting the filling. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. 5 x 7
in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 1, Folder 3, Item 62 for print of this negative.

a duplex, as Hopedale housing built for Draper Company employees was not generally larger than a duplex. It has a porch
on either side and is a substantial two-story wooden clapboard dwelling. Another house can be seen to the right, partially
blocked by trees and bushes in the foreground. The street curves around to the right. These houses were built for Draper Company
employees. See Negative 175 and Negative 171, in this box, for views of more houses on Bancroft Parkway, and Negative

Negative no.A173. 1901-1916. Image depicts a view of two houses on Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale, Massachusetts The house on
the left is a substantial two-and-a-half-story wood-shingled residence, with two entrances on the front porch. A walkway leads
to a set of steps at the rear of the house as well. All the windows have shutters. This house is probably the one that
appears in Negative 176, in this box. The house on the right is not quite as large and in a different style, but is also most
likely a
duplex, as Hopedale housing built for Draper Company employees was not generally larger than a duplex. This house is
also two-and-a-half stories and is wood-shingled; it does not, however, have shutters which is unusual for Draper Company
housing
(possibly the house is not quite finished). The two houses appear to be bisected by another road on which there are
more houses as glimpses of two other houses can be seen behind the house on the left. The road is wide and unpaved; one electric
pole
stands at the side of the road. See Box 15, Negative 182 for another view of these houses. These houses were built
for Draper Company employees. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 2, Folder 2, Item 173 for print of this negative.

Negative no.A176. 1901-1916. Image depicts a view of a house on the corner of Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale, Massachusetts
The house is a substantial two-and-a-half-story wood-shingled residence, with two entrances on the front porch. All the windows
have shutters; there is a bay window on the side. Although the house appears complete, some lumber is leaning up against
the house in the front. Down the street to the right can be seen more substantial wood-shingled houses, all duplexes. See
Negative

The road is wide and unpaved; it appears quite rutted, which suggests that the neighborhood was not yet quite finished. These
houses were
built for Draper Company employees. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 2, Folder 2, Item 176 for print of this negative.

Negative no.A179. 1901-1916. Image depicts two houses on Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale, Massachusetts Both are substantial
wood-shingled houses and both are most likely two-family residences. The house on the left is in the Dutch Colonial or gambrel
style, while the house on the right has two front gables. Both houses have shutters at all the windows, some of which
are closed. The unpaved road in the foreground curves to both the left and the right of the houses, with an area of large
bushes
planted between what may be driveways for each house. Electric poles line the road. These houses were built for Draper
Company employees. See Box 13, Negative 159 for a virtually identical view, and Negative 180, in this box, for a closer view

is in the gambrel, or Dutch Colonial, style, and is a two-and-a-half story wood-shingled residence. It is viewed here from
the
side, with an entrance on the front (left). Shutters are at all the windows. A group of large bushes has been planted
between this house and the house barely visible on the right (see Box 13, Negative 159). An electric streetlight is just visible
on the

window on the side. A walkway leads to a set of steps at the rear of the house as well. All the windows have shutters.
This house is probably the one that appears in Box 14, Negative 176. The house in the right background is not quite as large
and in a
different style, but is also most likely a duplex, as Hopedale housing built for Draper Company employees was not generally
larger than a duplex. This house is also two-and-a-half stories and is wood-shingled; it does not, however, have shutters
which
is unusual for Draper Company housing (possibly the house is not quite finished). The house on the left features two
gables and has three chimneys. This house is most likely on a dirt road that can barely be discerned; see Box 14, Negative

Substantial two-story wood-shingled houses line the unpaved road on both sides. Most of the houses have two chimneys and
are most likely duplexes, as Hopedale housing for Draper employees was generally not larger than a duplex. The unpaved
road is quite narrow and each house has a free-standing clothesline in the yard (several have laundry hanging from them}.
Note the
trash cans at the end of each walk leading from the houses. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. See

substantial, two-and-a-half-story wood-shingled houses done in different architectural styles. The houses on the left-hand
side
of the street have trees and bushes planted and there is a paved sidewalk on that side of the street; those houses
may have been constructed before the right-hand side of the street. The sidewalk on the right- hand side of the street is
still dirt and
there are no trees or bushes. A fire hydrant is on the street, which is wide and unpaved. These houses were built for
Draper Company employees. See Box 14, Negative 177 for a view of the same section of the street taken from the opposite end,

Negative no.A186. 1903-1906. Image depicts a four-story wooden boarding house. The building has three chimneys visible from
this angle and a lightning rod. Shutters have been installed at some of the windows, but the far left side appears to be still
under construction. No windows or shutters have been installed on that side, and there are two ladders leaning against
the porch roof. (Notes in the accession folder indicate the boardinghouse was "doubled" which may account for the unfinished
aspects
of it.) A front porch runs the length of the building. The sign "Hopedale House," which can be seen in Box 22, Negative
343 and Negative 344 has not yet been installed, all of which suggests a date closer to 1903 than 1905, the date for both
Negative

in the back yard on the right. A few bare trees are visible, possibly just planted. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers
George
and Ebenezer Draper were responsible for creating the integrated, planned community of Hopedale with innovative employee
housing and recreational spaces, in addition to employment. See also Box 22, Negative 344 for another view of Hopedale House.

Negative no.A188. ca. 1900. Image depicts a view of the Adin Ballou house in Hopedale, Massachusetts, a two-story wooden clapboard
building with two brick chimneys and shutters on some of the windows. A one-story extension of the house is at the back
(or the back portion of the house was constructed as one story). There is a picket fence running parallel to the sidewalk
from one side of the house. Ballou (1803-1890) was a prominent proponent of pacifism, socialism and abolitionism, and the
founder
(in 1842) of the Hopedale Community, a utopian community blending a factory town with a religious-based commune. See
Negative 199, in this box, for a view of the house taken from the opposite angle. The house was located at the corner of Peace
and
Hopedale streets until it was moved to Dutcher Street in 1900; see Box 125, Negative 2266 for a view of the house in

are some low stone walls running through the park in the background and some post-and-wire fences off to the right. Two
houses can be seen in the left background. A four-story house (possibly a boardinghouse?) can be seen in the right
foreground with wood trim decorative elements, shutters at every window, and an open front porch. Several wooden poles are
on the edges of
the street, but they have not yet been connected as either electric or telegraph poles (the pole closest to the boardinghouse
is an electric pole, connected to the boardinghouse). It is possible this image was taken before the park had been fully

loom, its basic feature being the filling-changing battery. Northrup looms were first marketed by Draper in 1894. Nothrup
retired
to California at the age of 42; as he appears to be in his late fifties or early sixties in this portrait, it is most
likely a photograph of another photograph. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 11, Folder 6, Item 2204 for print of this

(1803-1890) was a prominent proponent of pacifism, socialism and abolitionism, and the founder (in 1842) of the Hopedale Community,
a
utopian community blending a factory town with a religious-based commune. George and Ebenezer Draper withdrew their
75% of the community stock in 1856 to establish the Hopedale Manufacturing Company. Ballou continued on as Universalist pastor
until
retirement in 1880. The house was moved from its original location in 1900 to Dutcher Street and the porch added to
the building. See Box 15, Negative 188 and Negative 199 for views of the house in its original location at Peace and Hopedale

in front. A freestanding clothesline can be seen in the side yard in the center. Note the multiple stairways in the rear of
these
buildings as well. Several small boys sit or lie on the grass in the center. Open space is visible in the foreground.
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.

Negative no.B112. 1894-1900. Image depicts a four-story wooden clapboard house, with shutters at all the windows (a few are
closed). A porch stretches across the entire front of the house with two sets of steps to the porch. There is a bay window
on
the left side, with a back porch beyond it. A sign "Park House" sits above the front porch roof. This is most likely
a Draper Company boardinghouse, and looks somewhat similar to Hopedale House. There is a small lawn in front and some new
trees have
been planted; the house sits at the corner of two streets. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 8 x 10 in. See

Negative no.B134. May 7, 1903. Image depicts a view of the west side of Hopedale Street in Hopedale, Massachusetts, showing
the Draper Company shop and office. It is possible the two-story brick building in the center is the office, but it is unclear.
That building, and the two-story building directly behind it with the one-story extension to the left all have striped
awnings on some of the windows. Larger factory buildings can be seen behind in the background on both sides. A man stands
on the
sidewalk in front of the center building. Hopedale Street is unpaved, as is the street running perpendicularly in the
left foreground, but both have sidewalks. There are a number of trees along the street. A set of trolley tracks runs along
Hopedale
Street. A water tower is on the top of the building at the left in the background. The Draper Company manufactured
textile machinery, primarily looms. See Box 135, Negative 178 for this same view taken nine days later. See Negative 135 and

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 23, Negative 351. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 8 x 10

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. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box

of connected townhouses, with eight total entrances. The next house appears to be detached (there are two small children in
front of it), and then a second set of connected townhouses, with a detached house beyond that, etc. These are two-story
brick buildings designed to accommodate multiple families. These buildings feature Tudor-style timbering in the gables on
the end
building, roofed entrances (some single, some double), and shutters at all the windows (some closed). There are small
lawns in front between the houses and the street. Open space is in the foreground. Prospect Heights was built as housing for

Negative no.B197. August 28, 1903. Image depicts two houses on the north end of Bancroft Parkway. The house in the center
is a substantial two-and-a-half story wood-shingled house, with two separate porches, most likely a duplex. The house to the
left, which is somewhat hidden by trees, is a wood-shingled duplex with two entrances. (This house can also be seen
in Box 14, Negative 169.) The unpaved road is wide and curves around between the two houses. Electric poles have been erected
along the
side of the street; a fire hydrant is also visible. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. See also

Negative no.B861. February 11, 1911. Image depicts an unidentified male operative demonstrating how mill operatives would
suck the thread through the eye of a shuttle. The man holds the shuttle to his mouth; he would use his right hand to draw
the
thread out. Mill operatives would draw the thread through their mouths to help smooth it and make it easier to draw
through the eye of the shuttle. However, sucking on cotton thread could eventually cause lung problems and did so in many
mill
operatives. The unidentified man wears work clothes: dark shirt and pants with a light tie. He also wears wire-rimmed
glasses. The demonstration takes place in an unidentified mill; the battery of a loom can be seen on the left. He is presumably
a
Draper Company employee. See Negative 862 and Negative 863, in this box, for images of another employee demonstrating
this, and Box 179, Negative 870 through Negative 874 for images demonstrating this procedure using a skeleton. As the Draper
Company
manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms, and did not manufacture cloth, it is unclear what relation this photograph
has to Draper unless it was to demonstrate something with their looms. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 15, Folder 1,

and has a white beard. Most likely a photograph of an oil painting. Notation on the reverse of the print reads: "W.
W. Dutcher Apr 1, 1912" which is most likely the date this painting was photographed, as Dutcher appears to be in his 60s
or 70s, which
would place the image about 1880. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 16, Folder 1, Item 1074 for print of this negative.
