EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, captures the exterior of a Type house at Garden Homes in Kern County, California. The image is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection, which documented the living conditions of rural communities during the Great Depression. Twenty of these homes have been completed and are occupied on a tract adjacent to the Arvin Migratory Labor Camp. Rent for these bungalows was a modest eight dollars and twenty cents monthly, which included electricity and water. The homes, with their rustic timber exteriors and vegetable gardens, were designed to provide affordable and adequate housing for families in need. The photograph showcases the simplicity and charm of rural life during the 1930s. The homes, surrounded by lush greenery and set against the backdrop of the countryside, evoke a sense of community and self-sufficiency. The image also reflects the regionalism of the time, with its focus on the unique characteristics of American rural life. Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this moment in history with great sensitivity and detail. Her work, which includes this image of the Type house at Garden Homes, remains an important part of the heritage of American photography and a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit during challenging times.
