Some wonderful things happened up there in that out-of-the-way corner of the world. We lived Marion and I in a three-room bungalow with a roof that sloped like the roof of a temple, and here that first springtime something very fine came into our lives a son was born to us. He was a husky little youngster and maybe he couldn't yell!" Wolcott Norris laughed.
"Before the war, we lived in a old log house. It had one window, one door, and one room. Colored people didn't have no two or three-room houses before the war. I'll tell you that right now. All the furniture we had was bed stools and quilts. 'Course we had them old stools that pa made. We kept food right there in the house where we was in one corner. We didn't have no drawers nothing like that.
Packing-box tenement built for revenue only. 5. The limit; the air shaft first concession to tenant. 6. The double-decker, where the civic conscience began to stir in 1879. 7. Evolution of double-decker up to date. 8. 3 two-room apartments 3 three-room apartments 2 four-room apartments As for the rents, he will put them as high as he can, no doubt. They were too high always, for what they bought.
What would that cost? And the whole undertaking? It depended partly on what kind of shack one built and whether he did it himself or hired it done. A shack cost all the way from $25 to $100 or more. Some of those who had families and intended to stay, built cheap two-and three-room houses. Of course, it cost women who had to hire things done more to homestead.
There were also to be a trading-post, where the Indians could purchase supplies at cost; a six-room cottage for the accommodation of Big Lena, Miss Penny, and Chloe; and numerous three-room cabins for the housing of whole families of Indians, which the girl fondly pictured as flocking in from the wilderness to have the errors of their heathenish religion pointed out to them upon a brand-new blackboard, and the discomforts of their nomadic lives assuaged by an introduction to collapsible bath-tubs and the multiplication table.
It is the notion that it does that often prevents its growth. For it is a spirit, an attitude of mind, and not a formula or a piece of machinery. As far as my observation goes it is quite, if not more likely, to be found in a three-room apartment, where a family is living on fifteen dollars a week, as in an East Central Park mansion!
In Berlin they found the death-rate per thousand to be 163.5 where a family occupied one room, 22.5 where it lived in two rooms, 7.5 in the case of three-room dwellers, and 5.4 where they had four rooms. Does any one ask yet why we fight the slum in Berlin and New York? The Barracks in those days suggested the first kind.
"I'm not going to talk about it any more. I've already given you my answer twenty times." The man talked on, but the girl walked with lifted chin, apparently not hearing. They followed the board sidewalk into the shadows, finally turning in at a ramshackle, three-room house that was perched on the hillside almost at the end of the street at the outer limits of the village.
"How can you account for the enforced abdication of old Uncle Rocksy, the transformation of his palace into a commodious, three-room lodging-house, and all such things, unless you admit that we are here to do as we please? We'll make a metropolitan place out of this hamlet in a year if we " "A year! Oh, don't suggest such a possibility," she cried.
Crabtree I could all good and proper move him over to my house and that would leave his little three-room cottage hitched on to the store to move 'em into comfortable. They have got a heap of things, but most of 'em could be packed away in the barn here, what they won't let us keep for 'em. If Mr. Crabtree has got to take holt of my farm it will keep him away from the store, and he could give Mr.
