Immigrant Workers of the Pines.

[Ariadne]

I just uploaded some pictures from the 1930's into my user gallery. They are from an agricultural survey done during the depression of marginal farmers in New Jersey and Appalachia, focusing on the mostly immigrant (mostly Italian) workforce and the abuses of child labor. I think these images are terribly beautiful.

The one that really gets me the most is the last one in my album entitled "Housing Development." You've got to see it! Apparently a real-estate developer tried to build some high-end housing in the Depression, in the Pines! Incredible. I want to excavate that site!!!

All of these photographs are from Library of Congress.

Thanks for posting the photos Ariadne. I love old photos. The brick pillars in this photo were apparently very common for developments. I wander if they could be the ones off of Ringler Rd on the way to Apple Pie Hill.

From this view they seem too close together, but it is hard to tell.

I'm not talking about the ones on Rt532. I mean the ones further in on the left.

Well, they've been out in the rain.
