EDITORS COMMENTS
ALABAMA: HOUSING, 1914. A haunting glimpse into the living conditions of Adelaide Mill workers in Anniston, Alabama. This powerful photograph by Lewis Hine, taken in October 1914, captures the stark reality of poverty-stricken housing in early 20th century America. In this sepia-toned image, we see a row of dilapidated buildings that served as homes for these hardworking individuals. The exteriors are worn and weathered, reflecting the challenging lives led within their walls. These structures stand as a testament to the harsh realities faced by textile mill workers during this era. Lewis Hine's lens exposes not only the physical decay but also sheds light on the social and economic struggles endured by those who called these houses home. As we gaze upon this scene from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how far our society has come in terms of improving working conditions and providing adequate housing for all. This photograph is part of The Granger Collection's extensive archive that chronicles American history through visual storytelling. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on our past while appreciating the progress made towards creating better living standards for everyone.
