The notation on the back of this photo reads: “Bradley Woods’ development Jan. 1941.” I am guessing that the home shown on the right is on Juniper Road. On the left side of Bradley Woods was a large barn used by Don Rand’s Dude Ranch. The lands known as Bradley Hill, Bradley Park, Bradley Woods, Weymouth Port and the Hingham Shipyard were all owned by Pete Bradley. The Dude Ranch opened in 1939 and closed before 1942 to make way for part of the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard. The photo is from the archives of the Hingham Historical Society.
