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.

Those are nicer than Katrina trailers.

this is my favourite one so far

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.

nudecowboy: thanks for supplying the context and sources. We'll update the source data and reload the description.

This exact photo was used on Page 3 of the April 26, 1911 Washington Post. The arrest of McNamara happened on April 23, so the photo was taken sometime in the interim. The barn was rented by John J. McNamara. Owned by "T. H" or "D." or "F. M." Jones (different Washington Post articles), a half mile or 3/4 mile west of Indianapolis. Dynamite and nitroglycerine were found inside. A photo of "F. M." Jones accompanies this photo in the April 26 1911 Washington Post.

nudecowboy decided to put on a kilt? Heehee...ahem.
