Cheap partly-constructed houses lacking water and sewage, Lockland, Ohio (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Jim Rees said:

  Interesting how even a cheap house back then could have two chimneys, dormers, soffits, porches, a front door, and other architectural details often considered superfluous today.

• Christopher Busta-Peck said:

  Chimneys would be necessary for whatever heating device was installed - while you can get away without indoor plumbing, you still have to head the place somehow. As for the doormers, I suspect it would be so that those sleeping in the attic might have some sort of illumination.

Sewer construction, Confederate Avenue

• imrlocations said:

  My street of 43 years. I think this is the 1200 block.

[House in Lockland, Ohio] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Jim Rees said:

  I hope you're storing these nitrate negatives in a safe place.

• The Library of Congress said:

  @JimRees: The nitrate negatives are indeed safely stored. A state of the art facility designed to preserve nitrate film movies also provides the special cold temperature and humidity levels that the Library's "still film" negatives need . -- Helena

  Keep up the good work. LoC is one of those pieces of the US govt I don't mind sending my tax dollars to.
