EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "ROW HOUSE, 1938" transports us back to a time of great struggle and resilience in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. Taken by the talented photographer Arthur Rothstein in July 1938, this image captures a row of low-income houses that were emblematic of the era's challenges. The scene depicts an alley lined with modest row houses made from cobblestone. These humble dwellings served as homes for hardworking individuals and families who endured the hardships brought on by the Great Depression. The worn-out exterior of these buildings reflects both their age and the economic struggles faced by their inhabitants. In this snapshot of everyday life during that period, we see a person going about their daily routine. A clothesline stretches across one side of the street, adorned with laundry hanging out to dry under the summer sun. This simple act reminds us that even amidst poverty and adversity, people found ways to carry on with dignity. Rothstein's photograph is not only a testament to the working-class spirit but also serves as a visual reminder of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives aimed at revitalizing America during this challenging time. It stands as an enduring symbol of perseverance in times of hardship while shedding light on an important chapter in American history - one marked by both struggle and resilience within communities like Ambridge, Pennsylvania.
