Draper Corporation tenements, Maple and Freedom streets, 1919

Negative no.B2287. September 1919. Image depicts a two-story wood-shingled, gambrel-style house with two chimneys. Two small front porches on either end of the house, with separate walkways to the sidewalk and street indicate this is a duplex. There are two bay windows on the first floor. Shrubs and trees surround the building. Other residences are partially in view at the left and in the right background. 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 2287 for print of this negative.
