Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dedication of the Adin Ballou Memorial: Including the Unveiling of the Statue, a Historical Statement With Formal Presentation and Response Commemorative Addresses and Accompanying Exercises, at Hopedale, Massachusetts, October 27, 1900 The Adin Ballou Memorial, an account of the dedication of which is given in the following pages, consists of a statue of the man whose name it bears, somewhat larger than life, surmounting a massive pedestal appropriately inscribed, and the grounds on which it stands. It is located near the center of the principal village of the thriving town of Hopedale, Massachusetts, once the seat of the Hopedale Community, of which Mr. Ballou was the founder and leading spirit. The grounds constituted his former homestead, on which he resided for nearly half a century; the dwelling house and its appurtenances occupying one corner of them, the remaining portion being devoted to gardening purposes and the production of various kinds of fruit. They have a frontage of eight rods and a depth of about ten and a half rods, making an area of a little more than half an acre. The house was a modest one story and a half cottage with an ell, to which a small printing-office was attached. The buildings have been taken away, the cottage being removed to a new site a quarter of a mile distant, refitted, and otherwise improved and made convenient and attractive for further domestic service.
