Now and Then - The Bancroft Library

More about the library      Sylvia Bancroft      Now and Then Menu          HOME

The Bancroft Memorial Library was built in 1898.
This is one of the few pictures taken of it before
the Statue of Hope fountain was installed in 1904.

    This picture shows the Humphrey-Fish house that
    once stood next to the library. The Humphrey family
    lived there during the Hopedale Community era. (Click
    on the picture to read about Elizabeth Humphrey.) The
    picture was probably taken at the time Dr. Fish lived
    there. Trolley tracks can be seen in the street.
