EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1936 showcases the living conditions of steelmill workers in Birmingham, Alabama. Taken by renowned photographer Walker Evans, it offers a glimpse into the housing provided by Republic Steel Company during a time when the Great Depression had gripped America. The image depicts rows of wooden company houses with smokestacks billowing smoke in the background. The humble exteriors are marked by simple roofs and chimneys, reflecting an era where functionality took precedence over aesthetics. A powerline and telephone post stand tall nearby, symbolizing connectivity amidst rural surroundings. Notably absent from these dwellings is indoor plumbing; instead, outhouses can be seen at regular intervals along the street. This stark reminder of limited sanitation facilities highlights the challenges faced by working-class families during this period. Evans' composition captures both the resilience and struggles of these steelworkers as they navigated through difficult times. The photograph serves as a testament to their perseverance in providing for their families despite challenging circumstances. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows viewers to reflect upon an important chapter in American history – one that shaped not only Alabama's industrial landscape but also influenced government policies such as Roosevelt's New Deal aimed at revitalizing the nation's economy.
