Draper Corporation tenements, 37 Progress Street, 1919

Negative no.B2278. September 1919. Image depicts a two-story wood-shingled house with two chimneys. Most of the windows have shutters. The building is designed for occupancy by two families; there is a double set of steps in the front and a side porch can be glimpsed on the left. A walkway on the right most likely leads to another side porch. Shrubs and climbing vines surround the entry and house. This house was built by the Draper Corporation for its employees. Tenements in this context simply means employee housing and not the "slum" housing usually thought of in reference to the word tenements. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 12, Folder 2, Item 2278 for print of this negative.
