Printed in 1974 from glass plate 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 3, Folder 2, Item 343 and Item 344 has not yet been installed, all of which suggests a date closer to 1903 than 1905, the date for both Box 3, Folder 2, Item 343 and Item 344. A fire escape is visible on the right-hand end of the building. Note the laundry hanging on lines 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 3, Folder 2, Item 344 for another view of Hopedale House. 25 x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A188. ca. 1900.

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 Item 199, in this folder, 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 12, Folder 1, Item 2266 for a view of the house in 1919.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A198. 1903-1906. Image depicts a bronze marker placed at the corner of an unknown street and Dutcher Street. The marker reads: "Upton 4 1/2 miles" at the top and " This Street Presented to the Town of Hopedale by William F. Draper [date illegible]" at the base. Upton, Massachusetts, is a town located northwest of Hopedale. Dutcher Street is probably the larger, unpaved street on the right, on which several houses and electric poles are located. A low stone wall marks the street corner behind the marker. William Draper was associated with the Draper Company, the founders of which created the integrated, planned community of Hopedale with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces, in addition to employment.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A204. 1903- 1906. Image depicts a view of Hopedale Park, which appears to be a fairly barren stretch of land. There 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 established and the park and surrounding area had been landscaped. Image taken from a high angle, probably a second- or third-story window. See also Item 206, in this folder. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 25 x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A308. November 15, 1904. Image depicts an open field surrounded by a stone wall in the background. Several houses are visible in the background, beyond the stone wall. There are a few bare trees in the playground and what appears to be a set of wooden uprights in the center left, but in general the field is empty. "Playground" at this time suggests more of an open field in which to play as opposed to a field containing playground equipment. 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 Item 310, in this folder, for a view of presumably the same playground but from a different angle. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 25 x 20.25 cm.
