Draper Corporation Tenements, corner Dutcher & Freedom streets, 1919

Negative no.B2279. September 1919. Image depicts a two-story wood clapboard house. Shutters are at each window and a set of steps leads to a porch with two separate entryways, indicating this was a duplex. A walkway connects the sidewalk and street with the house. Climbing vines surround the porch and some shrubs can be seen against the side of the house. A second house is partially seen in the back. 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 2279 for print of this negative.
