Title:
Four people - all shipyard workers - live in the two room house before which the woman and girl are standing. They share
with eight families in adjoining buildings the single outdoor sink in front of the single bathroom and single privy visible
in upper left. Rent for this "house" is $40 a month. Because Richmond Shipyards were in operation so long before the effective
date at which rents were frozen, ceilings had little effect; rents were already atrocious in this area.
