This image is a collage of three historical photographs depicting poor housing conditions in Louisville, Kentucky, accompanied by explanatory captions. It is mounted on a presentation-style document.

  1. Left Photo and Caption:
    The image shows a fenced-off area with a water pump surrounded by a barrel filled with earth to prevent freezing. The caption describes this as the only water supply for 33 families living in the "Tin House." Tenant families must carry water 138 feet for daily use.

  2. Center Photo and Caption:
    The middle photograph depicts a cluster of small, dilapidated buildings referred to as the "Tin House," home to 33 families as of 1904. The area appears cluttered with signs of overcrowding and inadequate structural conditions.

  3. Right Photo and Caption:
    The right image displays an outdoor privy shared by the residents of the "Tin House." According to the caption, two out of four compartments are situated over an overflowing vault, and the privy is positioned only 18 inches from the rear of the house. It highlights the unsanitary conditions, including drainage pooling between the house and the privy.

The overall visual and textual documentation appears to be aimed at illustrating the dire living conditions faced by impoverished communities during the early 20th century.
