Draper Corporation tenements, corner Oak and Northrup streets, 1919

Negative no.B2280. September 1919. Image depicts a two-story wood-shingled house with attic and two chimneys, and features some Tudor-type timbering as decoration on the attic level and the front porches. Windows have shutters. The building is designed for occupancy by two families; there are two separate front entrances and the one on the right has been screened in. Shrubs surround the entry and house; flowers have been planted around the two trees on the front lawn. Both streets have sidewalks but the streets appear unpaved. 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 2280 for print of this negative.
