Warren Fales Draper
Warren Fales Draper (1818-1905) was a publisher in Andover, Massachusetts for nearly 50 years. A descendant of early Roxbury settler James Draper, he was born and raised in West Dedham, Massachusetts (later named Westwood), and graduated from Phillips Academy and Amherst College. His plans to go into the ministry did not materialize, and he became a book seller and publisher in his adopted town of Andover. Through frugality and industry, he amassed a considerable estate, and having no children he made sizable philanthropic contributions, and offered scholarships to aspiring students. Draper Hall at Abbot Academy (now a part of Phillips Academy) was named for him.
