Correction: I've never seen a name for the island near Lake Street. Fisherman's Island is the one further upstream - the one with the stone shelter/fireplace on it. The name can be seen on a 1913 map of the Parklands. Click here to see the map. |
Now and Then - Lake Street, Progress Street, Soward Street, Seven Sisters
2012. The Seven Sisters on Freedom Street weren't part of the Lake Point development, but I'm including them here because of their location.
pictures you had of the homes around Lake Street on Soward Street, the 'seven sisters,'and on Progress Street brought back fond memories of "our" neighborhood. The "double" shown on page 154 in "The Model Company Town by John S Garner," at the intersection of Progress Street and Freedom Street is a picture of the home we grew up in. Our 1/2 faced Progress Street and the Soderbergs faced Freedom Street." Click here for more Hopedale memories from Art.

No, the Hopedale Storage Company garages weren't built in the 1970s. They were a Draper project built before the company houses were sold in the 1950s. |
I looked through the scrapbook at the Bancroft Library where these articles came from up into 2003, but didn't find anything more on the matter. DM |
