Draper Corporation tenements, 6 Peace Street, 1919

Negative no.B2286. September 1919. Image depicts a two-story wood clapboard house with three chimneys. Shutters are at each window. There are four visible entryways (two of them on each side of the house) indicating this is probably a multi-family dwelling. The walkways leading from the four entryways are joined to form a single walk to the sidewalk and street. Some climbing vines have attached themselves to the entryways and to a trellis in the center. Note the small tricycle in front of the entry on the far right. 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 2286 for print of this negative.
