Sounds like a very interesting book, I will have to see if I can get a copy. On a similar topic, did you ever read Jacob Riis, "How the other Half Lives"? It's more about the late 1880's and 1890's, and the slums of the old law tenaments of the Lower East Side, and Lower Manhattan, but it's very interesting, and I think what led to the passing of the "New Law Tenaments" laws, that housing after either 1890 or 1900 had to uphold. Most buildings then had to have a window in every room (or at least bedrooms), airshafts, etc. |
