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. |
