Draper Corporation tenement, 24 Northrup Street, 1919

Negative no.B2283. September 1919. Image depicts a two-story wood-shingled house. Shutters are at each window. Two separate small covered porches serve as separate entrances on the front, indicating this was a duplex. A back entry is in view at one side; there is presumably a matching back entry on the other side of the house. Walkways connect each entryway with the sidewalk and street. Shrubs and trees surround the building. 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 2283 for print of this negative.
