EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases a type of home built by private interests for mill workers in Longview, Cowlitz County, Washington. The image provides a glimpse into the living conditions during the Great Depression era in America. The modest house stands as a testament to the economic hardships faced by many families at that time. With its simple design and rural surroundings, it reflects both the resilience and struggle of mill workers striving to make ends meet. Renting for just twenty-five dollars per month, this dwelling was an affordable option for those who worked tirelessly in the nearby mills. Lange's composition highlights not only the physical structure but also evokes a sense of privacy and seclusion amidst challenging times. The dilapidated street leading up to the house adds depth to the narrative, emphasizing how these homes were often tucked away from bustling city life. As we contemplate this powerful image today, we are reminded of Lange's dedication to capturing moments that shed light on social issues and economic disparities. Her work with organizations like Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI) documented American history while advocating for change. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's past struggles while inspiring us to strive towards creating better opportunities for all members of society.
