fantastic shots of old storefronts! this bldg is very similar to the tenement museum. of interest- the secondary windows inside display windows. love how you get two levels of commercial space out of one facade. very dynamic street front. impossible to recreate today because of accessibility laws…

small is good

if only we could be free of some U.S. building codes…

an interesting fact gleaned at tenement museum: the average 3 room apt was 330sf. some of the ground floor units were 300sf.

this japanese house: 600sf

the carriage house in oakland: 380sf

my flat: 1600sf

brick house: 96sf on ground level, 80sf in mezzanine and loft

40′ shipping container: 293sf

: laundry sub panel. apparently the ellis island hospital was the best in the country- to nip those immigrant germs in the bud. the laundry was a huge element in germ control.

mucilage

Unearthed at jobsite on kearny. What seemed to be an inkwell turned out to be a glue pot. a little on line research and i interpolated that the scant remaining painted label reads ‘diamond mucilage’. probably had a wood and/or cork stopper with brush.
