  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called 20th-Century Prefab Homes, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

  these row shelters were usually two or three room homes. also, there was't any air conditioning nor heating. the stoves oven, if it had one, was used as the heater. this looks like a saturday or sunday afternoon. most are dressed in their sunday best. these labor camps were scattered all the way down to Brownsville. we lived in one in Harlingen.

  This image needs to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise...

• Lisa Oka said:

  Yes, please rotate the image! It's hard to read as it is now. (Japanese is written top to bottom, starting on the right side of the paper.)
