The image is a collage of four black-and-white photographs depicting housing conditions for workers in Lowell, Massachusetts, during the historical industrial era. Each photograph is accompanied by captions describing the associated buildings and their rental conditions.

  1. Top Left: A row of brick housing units labeled "Dutton St: Merrimack Corporation Houses." The text mentions that rents for 5–6 room tenements range from $2.77 to $6.52 per week. It also states corporate profits at 2.5% on the assessed valuation of the properties.

  2. Top Right: A different view of brick housing labeled "Boott Corporation Houses." It notes rents for employees were $2.02 weekly for a 5-room suite but mentions the corporation sold the houses to private investors, leading to increased rents.

  3. Bottom Left: A smaller, more rustic wooden housing unit labeled "Colburn St: Merrimack Corporation Tenements." It appears to be simpler compared to the brick buildings, suggesting an older or lower-standard design.

  4. Bottom Right: A large industrial-style housing building labeled "Hamilton Corporation Houses." A tall mill or factory structure is visible in the background, indicating proximity to workplaces.

The layout of the collage highlights contrasts in housing types provided by corporations to their workers, along with commentary on rental costs and profit margins. The streetscape and leafless trees suggest the photos were taken during late autumn or winter.

The image is a historical document showcasing housing conditions in Lowell, Massachusetts. It features four photographs of residential buildings associated with different corporations, each with a descriptive caption.

  1. Top Left Photograph: This photo is labeled "DUTTON ST.: MERRIMACK CORPORATION HOUSES." It depicts a row of three-story brick buildings in a residential area. The caption notes that the rent for a 6-room tenement is $2.77 to $6.52 per week, and mentions that the corporation stated it makes only a 2.5% return on the assessed valuation of its tenement property.

  2. Top Right Photograph: This photo shows a similar brick building and is labeled "BOOT COTTON HOUSES." The text beneath explains that the rent charged to employees is $1.02 per week for a 3-room suite. It also mentions that because the investment was unprofitable, the houses were sold to private investors who then doubled the rents.

  3. Bottom Left Photograph: This image is labeled "COLBURN ST.: MERRIMACK CORPORATION TENEMENTS." It shows a wooden building with several doorways visible, suggesting multiple units. The architectural style looks older compared to the brick buildings in the other photos.

  4. Bottom Right Photograph: Labeled "HAMILTON CORPORATION HOUSES," this photograph features a long brick tenement with multiple doorways and windows. A person is visible walking on the street beside the building, emphasizing its residential nature.

This is a historical photograph showing housing conditions in Lowell, Massachusetts, featuring four different views of industrial worker housing/tenements from the early industrial period. The images show:

  1. Dutton St. Merrimack Corporation Houses - A long row of brick buildings with multiple stories and regular window patterns. The caption indicates rents were $1.57-$6.42 per week, and the corporation claimed a 2.8% return on assessed valuation.

  2. Boott Corporation Houses - Similar brick row houses, with rent listed at $1.52 per week for a 2-room suite. The caption notes they were sold to private investors due to inability to make investments.

  3. Colburn St. Merrimack Corporation Tenements - Shows a different view of worker housing with what appears to be a courtyard or common area.

  4. Hamilton Corporation Houses - Another view of industrial worker housing buildings.

All images appear to be from the same era, showing the typical mill worker housing of industrial Lowell. The buildings are uniform in appearance, built of brick, and represent the company-owned housing that was common in industrial mill towns. The bare trees suggest these photos were taken during winter or late fall. The images provide important documentation of working-class living conditions during America's industrial revolution.

The photograph depicts a long row of multi-story brick buildings with many windows. Bare trees line the street in front of the buildings.

The second photograph, in the upper right, shows "BOOTT CORPORATION HOUSES." The caption states that rent for employees is $2.02 per week for a 5-room suite.

This is a historical photograph that appears to be a study of housing conditions in Lowell, Massachusetts. It consists of four separate images, each with a description underneath. The images are:

  1. Dutton St: Merrimack Corporation Houses: A long row of brick buildings, likely tenements, is visible. The text states rents were between $2.77 - $5.52 per week for 5-6 room tenements and that the corporation made only 2.25% on the assessed value.
  2. Boott Corporation Houses: Similar to the Dutton Street houses, but the text states rents were $2.02 per week for a 5-room suite. The text further explains that these houses were sold to private investors who doubled rents.
