The picture at the top shows the building erected in the 1840s by the Hopedale Community, to be used as both a school and a chapel. It was on what is now Hopedale Street, between Freedom and Chapel. In later years it contained a store and two apartments.    The second photo shows the Chapel Street School. Both of these buildings and two other duplexes on the block were razed in the 1950s. A little of the Dutcher Street School can be seen at the left side of the Chapel Street School.    The sepia pictures were labeled "Political Rally." No more information, unfortunately.    The bottom picture shows all that remains on the block - the former Dutcher Street School, now the Uncommon Place condominiums.                 Now and Then Menu                      HOME
