INDUSTRIAL HOUSING, c1941 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Working Class Americans
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 1940s in an industrial area of Massachusetts. Captured by photographer Jack Delano in January around New Bedford, this image offers a poignant snapshot of employee housing during a time when America was still recovering from the Great Depression. The scene depicts rows of modest houses nestled amidst towering smokestacks and factory buildings. These humble dwellings were home to hardworking individuals who dedicated their lives to supporting local industries. The stark contrast between the imposing structures and these simple abodes serves as a reminder of the vast socioeconomic disparities that existed at that time. Delano's lens captures not only the physical environment but also hints at the resilience and determination etched on the faces of those who called this place home. This photograph stands as a testament to their strength, highlighting their ability to find solace within challenging circumstances. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time, gaining insight into an era marked by economic hardship yet characterized by unwavering spirit. It is through images like these that we gain a deeper understanding of our collective past and pay homage to those whose labor laid the foundation for progress.
