Houses, Golds Alley
"The hydrant (blurred right center foreground) is shared by 21 people in 8 families. No streetlights, though the alley is well over 100 yards long. The lantern by the front steps was installed by the tenants. No pavement. No drainage system." In the background, a woman sits on a porch. The Golds Alley neighborhood houses 16 families, 41 people, in 13 buildings. The majority of homes have no indoor plumbing, and the entire neighborhood shares 12 outhouses. |
