many years in the mid-20th century. It appears that this picture (taken by James Peavey) was taken near his house on Mill Street, a bit east of the intersection with Greene. . |
The Westcott Mill can be seen in the background. . |
There was no date on this clipping but ads on the back have phone numbers from the time before dial, so it must have been before 1955. . |
Hopedale Highway Department Thanks to Charlie Gaffney for these photos. Fred Evers - Snow plowing in the good old days. More Highway Department Photos Even more Highway Department Photos And another Highway Department Page Town Departments Menu HOME . |
The Draper Main Office can be seen in the background of this picture. . |
I have attached a picture that you had on your site about the Hopedale Highway Dept vehicles. My brother John and I think the person on the right side is Joe Rosenfeld. The truck is on a scale, probably being weighed for a load of sand for the Highway Dept to spread on the streets. In the background it looks like the entrance to Rosenfeld's from Plain Street. There is a house in the background and it looks like the Jenks house on the corner of Plain and Newton Streets. That house is now gone. Paul Butcher Rosenfeld truck photos |
