The top two pictures show the original Hopedale High School, built in 1887. The top picture shows it in its original form. The second picture shows it with an addition that became necessary as the Draper business boomed in the years following the introduction of the Northrop loom in 1894. Beginning in 1935, it became Sacred Heart Church. It was eventually razed and the area is now used as a parking lot for the new church.                       Now and Then Menu                    HOME
