How the Other Half Lives Tenement Talk at East Side
At East Side House on 76th Street and East River, about ten observers learned from expert Frank Wells and sociologist Mrs. Trentholm about tenement evolution and housing issues. Wells traced shifts from brownstones to large multi family dwellings, noting light and air loss, sky lights, dumbbell shafts, and the 1900 law steering shaft enlargement and white brick interiors while constraining builders. The discussion highlighted speculator builders harming housing quality and the moral dimension of reform efforts.

Clytemnestra a Strong Voice Though Play Dragged
