Draper Corporation tenement, Oak & Freedom streets, 1919

Negative no.B2285. September 1919. Image depicts a two-story wood-shingled house with attic and two chimneys. Shutters are at each window. A small covered porch on either side of the house indicates two separate entrances for a duplex. 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 2285 for print of this negative.
