Several boathouses can be seen on the right. (Hopedale Street side) When I was a kid (1940s through 1950s) the boathouses on that side were gone but there were two or three on the Lake Street side. I don’t think they were being used by then.
Note on the left that this picture was taken before the Lake Street houses were built. Click on the picture to go to a page about all the bridges of Hopedale Pond.
